Hi All,
I managed to stain the front and back of wiseman 2.
My problem now is 'do I varnish each piece before assembly or varnish after I have the front and back pieces assembled. ??
Any ideas ???

Looks great Don ,
I personally would glue them together and then use sanding sealer.......fine sand and then wax finish but others might have a different idea
Cheers

Nah, he's nothing like wide enough 8)

But to the subject at hand... I'm with Brian, glue them up first and then do the final finishing.

Thanks for that. My preference was for gluing together the front and back pieces. Sanding the backs then gluing together. Finish coat of varnish/sanding sealer after checking joins/fit.. Sanding the base and applying a piece of felt.
