Next Color Squirt

 Got the bottom embellishment, feet, and around the louvers squirted with color

Color Squirt

Just applied the first color to the area under the covers and the top three rows of embellishment. Note that the top three match closer to the other woods used that the bottom three. I will have to do more masking around the areas that the louvers attach. Its a fairly long process to get the finish correct.

First Squirt

 First of many squirts. This first squirt serves as a sanding sealer. In the process there will be one or more toner squirts where a toner is mixed with the lacquer. This toner squirt will be selectively applied to areas that need to be darkened such as the three top and bottom ribs. These ribs are made from a less beautiful wood and tend to be to light in color.
