A little shop action

Here is Steve in action, practicing faux wood painting techniques. He'll be doing the decks of our boat Chelsea over and wants to use latex house paint for durability with a faux wood finish so it would look more like the mahogany that is on there now. That is brightly finished and wears away too quickly for his liking in the sun. I think this is going to work! 

EDIT: He has taken a few more photos of the process now. Those who are interested in seeing close-ups, check his flickr page.

That is one of the boat builders Stan, visiting & checking out Steve's progress.
