Since I added some trim to the front of the Studio, the roof seemed off balance. I added a 3/8″ x 3/8″ strip of bass wood along the front edge of the roof board to make it more prominent in front.
To finish the eaves, I cut pieces of veneer to fit along the underside of the roof board. Instead of making board lines as I had done for the Heritage eaves, I opted for smooth soffits for the eaves. I think this makes for a more modern feel.
I cut angles at the corners to fit the pieces together.
I cut bass wood strips to finish the outer edges of the roof board.
These eight boards create a good clean finish for the edges of the roof.
I painted the pieces with two coats of Warm White by Americana, a light sanding between coats. When I paint a grouping of boards, I tape them to a scrap of cardboard for easier painting.
I then glued them in place and touched up any gaps with small dabs of paint.
