Thank you, everyone! I am happy with how it turned out. Especially considering how much time I put into it. I don't plan to do anything with...
So I believe I am finished (for now). I completely removed the back. The wood was destroyed. I plan to replace it with a removable...
Ah good. I didn't add any varnish...but I basically cut the oil by 1/2 for the first coat and 1/3 for the second. Applied with a cotton...
I am ready to apply the tung oil. Seems like there are lots of different opinions on it however. Number of coats. How much to cut it with...

Good idea. I'd be very interested to see what these meant.
I'd be surprised if it were used as a chicken coop. There is no solid bottom to the interior of that part. All slats. And it is open from left...
