Continuing work on the bay window section. I masked off the top portion of each basswood padding piece and affixed the pieces to my work board.
The edges will serve as part of the window trim, so I stained them with Minwax Dark Walnut.
When working with a lot of pieces of similar shape and size, I mark the backs for reference. This one shows the upward direction, first section, right side, outer trim.
I will prime the remaining portions before applying wallpaper, but I am choosing not to prime before installation since I don’t want to risk warping the boards. Instead, I glued in the forward boards, the middle trim and interior corner boards.
The remaining boards will be installed after I glue the bay window section to the front wall, so this part is as completed as it can be to this point. Here they are in dry fit, so you can see what I’m after. :D
