Quote from: Pennman on July 05, 2025, 05:05:05 PMYou know Jerry, that I now have silverwood stain. I might just have to use some to see if I can achieve what you have shown us. Those wood planks are superb! I know lighting is also a small problem, but the dock pictures (shown earlier) look a little darker than the outside wall pictures, or it may be my eyesight. I was thinking that silverwood stain would be more darker though.

And Larry is correct when saying that you are the master of framing. How did you make the door rollers/pulleys?

Rich
Thanks for the nice compliment Rich.

The dock is darker only because I used a dust powder over the silverwood to make it look more worn.
And just so you know I used a brown paper bag on the walls.  Lightly rubbing to get a higher sheen.
Rollers are from a SW kit.
I still need to the weather the outside walls a little bit yet.

And so does the peeling paint.

I see the master framer is at it again.

Great job on the walls and doors, I'm thinking I need to gewt some of that silverwood stain.
Hey Ron thanks for the compliment.  Not sure I'm a Master at framing but I sure do try.

You should try the Silverwood.  It really does a nice job for aged wood even for an undercoat.

Thanks Mike it's appreciated.  Hopefully when I try to weather the walls it will all come together nicely.

One thing I forgot to mention on the Silver Wood the more coats the darker it gets so be wise when putting it on.  I usually wait to make sure it's dry before doing another coat.

Jerry,

Thanks for the tip on Silverwood. I'll keep this in mind when using mine.

Jerry,

I agree with the other comments on the dock and framing of the structure. The Silverwood stain on the exterior board is weathered perfectly.

Well done on all of this build.
