    Painting, staining and shellacing this park bench

    I am on leave and finding things to do around the house that I have wanted to do for some time. So, for the past three days I have been painting, staining and shellacking this park bench I bought two or three years ago at a garden center.

    Painting the sides.


    This is what the wood looked like before I stained it and applied several coats of shellac.


    The green paint is Krylon Outdoor Spaces, 2902 Moss. I first tried this other green but it came out like the Green Monster at Fenway, and although I am a Red Socks fan I knew that my ex would not like that green.


    The finished bench and the first one to sit on it was the Australian Heeler Joey.


    The small sitting space next to the salvaged wagon.

    Nice work. The stain and paint colors work really nicely together.
