Not my first project in use, but probably the first one that was kinda custom made to welcome my daughter who just came back from Europe after a year and a half at a Uni in Poland.
The bed is made of clear walnut. The finish schedule was:
A washcoat of shellac (Sealcoat thinned to 1.5 pound)
Two coats coat of Sealcoat and alcohol based stain (shellac and brown walnut stain, 1:2 ratio)
Three coats of Minwax Polycrylic, semi-gloss
No sanding between coats. Wet sanding of final finish with 600g.
HF hvlp system (http://www.harborfreight.com/high-volume-low-pressure-spray-gun-kit-44677.html) I recently bought was used for spraying.
It's not a masterpiece by a long shot, but Alicia is jokingly saying that bed might keep her at home a bit longer before she boards a plane again.
I had a hard time taking the pictures to reflect the true color. The finish is closes to the lighter version in the first photo.
