The other side:
The cleanup/stock resurrection has been completed. I respected the stock, imperfections and all, no sandpaper touched the wood. Finger painting iterations of Tung Oil/BLO, soak and wipe has provided a rich warm glow with some gloss though not excessive.
I constructed a pine box to ship the barrels out to Breck and placed the box within a cardboard one. The total weight is 16 pounds with the barrels. Shipping will be high but the best insurance is a stout box. When the barrels are completed it will be a very happy day.
Charlie, thank you for the nice compliment.
