Its good, I don't feel so alone with these veterans. I burnt the deep areas with my acetylene torch, sanded that down. Then I layered on a couple of coats of a dark Minwax stain, American something, I can't remember what right now, old age kickin in. And last I put on five coats of Marine Varnish. And a few more just on the top to seal it. Benzart puts on like 12 layers of marine varnish for the ones sitting outside. But I'll have to do some research. I can't get that many on without it looking gummed up. His and others on this board always look so smooth. Maybe I need to sand more. But man, I HATE sanding. Boring. Carving and chipping is the thing. Thats fun. And drinking rum and sharing it with the Tiki to bring it in to the world! Hell yeah..........
