New project! A gift from my local lake, this one is a piece of cypress drift wood that I baked dry in the Florida sun for about a week and then sanded the weathered layers down to raw wood grain. There are several natural color swirls throughout and that will be my focus to bring out the natural beauty.
Jaco bean stain from behr and the final finish will be a rattle can clear coat and uv protectant.
I call this one “man’s best friend” and you’ll see why when I’m done!
Update coming soon.

I forgot I did this project right before we sold the old house. It had a narrow doorway leading to the kitchen with no door.. so I removed part of that wall and re located wall switches and retiled the area.
In one of the pictures towards the end you can see the one half of french doors pantry door. That was from a house in the historic district of downtown orlando. The den also had the same matching double french doors right around the corner. (Pictures when I find them)

Flashback to when we moved into our new zombie home and had to uprgrade just about everything. Front and back patios ceilings were in bad shape.
Thanks to my parents for the help on their vacation!

Another project underway. I had to google to figure out what the actual name is of what I’ve been tasked to build. The existing one is old and weathered beyond repair so I’ll stick to the previous design as a guide and alter the look a bit. Here we go! Eyebrow Pergola is what it’s called and I’m using cedar stock lumber.
Stain and prebuild at home and deliver to location to install.
