Today's sunset:

Zaya was here this weekend so we have some rare "in action" shots to document the staining of the big guy

I had to climb on a log to reach the top part

I moved down to milk crate as I got lower

Someone taught Ringo how to pose whenever a camera is taken out:

Working my way down the head

Working in kick back sit down mode

Just about finished

First coat, all done

And some more work done on the table:
