And so, the production of the coffin lid continues. In the first photo, we had finally cut the wooden edges at the proper angles, and were adhering them with wood glue and nails. Clamps were used to keep them in place during the securing process. Next came the first coat of stain, which I hand-blended and applied with a small brush to assure an even coat. While it was drying, it looked much like a bloody massacre. The final photo shows the results after five coats of stain. Upon completely drying, it was a bit lighter in color and perfectly matches the original coffin box. Next: Aging the coffin lid with alcohol ink.
