My husband ‘banned’ sanding
indoors recently and unfortunately it is already cold here, so sanding the legs
of these chairs was pretty unpleasant. Luckily it was only the legs though, as
the rest will be covered when I upholster.
Once sanded, I applied 2
coats of an oil based stain, same as my previous chairs, in a dark brown. It
was very smelly in our house; ideally this would be done outside as well.
After a couple of days of
drying, I gave them 2 coats of semi-gloss polycrylic. I actually used the same
stuff as the hardwood floors upstairs as it has such a nice finish.
And now we know: don’t wear your respirator too tight, it
makes your lips numb which feels super weird
