More sanding...

Day 5
More sanding awaits me..I prefer to wait 24hrs between coats of paint.  You don't have to wait so long but I find that the paint here (sold in Switzerland) needs the extra time.  So more sanding.  I don't mind sanding anymore , now that I have the proper place (atelier) and lots of space! It's a rewarding process, watching the years of dark varnish old and cracked, get sanded off, exposing the mystery wood underneath.  That's the easy part, deciding on what color to paint the piece is my least favorite part.  After that hiccup, it's a labor of love applying the paint and transforming a bare wooden piece into a thing of beauty! 

a demain.
