Title says nearly all. I'm thinking that I finish the wood prior to assembly primarily because the 3/8" gaps between the seat and back slats won't allow me to get a proper coat of spar varnish in those gaps.
Am I on the right track here? Help is appreciated!!
Also, if it is not too much trouble to comment further: I'm a little confused about how to get an even finish on all sides of the boards without drips. I plan on using Minwax Helmsman spray varnish in a semi gloss finish. 3 coats. What procedure would work best with what tools?
This is my first woodworking project. The shaping of the wood was quite gratifying, but the finishing intimidates me as I want it to be as perfect as possible.
