    Is Silverwood the only coloring on the wood right now?
  • kebmokebmo
    yes. i'm considering adding a light gray chalk/alcohol wash. thoughts?
  • brownbr
    I like the gray color you have now but I also like the dusty look of chalks. Hmmmm...do an experiment and see which you like best.

    the loading dock framing has been epoxied to the warehouse and once that's cured, i will be epoxying the stone wall to it.

    Kevin. Nice work but the third leg on the south side of the north wall is leaning west..Carl.....
  • kebmokebmo
    which way is north?
  • CarlLaskeyCarlLaskey
    Your left and my right.
  • kebmokebmo
    that's as clear as mud....
    from left to right, which leg is it. i don't see it.

    Looks mighty fine Kevin! The contrasting structure finishes appear to be working well, hard to tell until you see them all together.

    ed and carl,
    bite me. :) i don't have a wooden leg.
    ken,
    thanks. so far so good. i think once the roofs are on it'll be okay..
  • kebmokebmo
    i got quite a bit of the decking done, then the eyes went south and i had to call it a night. plus, i was 4 beers into it and figured i'd better stop.
    here's how far i got....[hic]

    Decking looks great. Looks like you left one of your beer bottles on the window sill.
  • kebmokebmo
    thanks bryan. so THAT'S where i left it...
  • Joel
    Really nice. I like the colour variation and the chewed up board ends.
  • kebmokebmo
    thanks joel.

    Kevin,

    The deck boards are fantastic, a real show stopper. Did you use the chalk and alcohol method or another technique or a blend of methods and techniques to get the wonderful variations and coloring?

    honestly dave, i grained, knothole, bandsawed, frayed, and then hit them with one coat of silverwood stain. that's all i did. certain boards took the stain differently and that the variation you see,
  • kebmokebmo
    thanks killer. :)
  • Dave_SDave_S
    Thanks Kevin,

    Terrific results. Looks fantastic against both the stone and wood siding.

    thank you.

    the decking is finished and it's on to the fascia. any irregularities where the boards abut the structures will be masked with details.
