6: Blue painter’s tape masks the white so I can paint
faux wainscoting. The wainscoting is Apple Barrel
Blue lightened with white.
7: When the paint is thoroughly dry, a gentle
sanding of the wood further weathers the walls. I
use wet or dry sandpaper, always sanding in the
direction of the woodgrain.

8: Washes of umbers (browns) and blacks have
been applied to the outer walls. It is easier to do
as much work as possible while the walls are flat.
Once the paint is dry, the walls lie almost flat. I
find only a little bracing is required to pull out any
warp, and insure a strong assembly. While 1/8”
square stripwood is supplied with the kit, I generally
use 3/16” square wood where possible for the
additional strength.
