Altar Project: Applying Beads

 

After the delays of looking at flowers and trying to stop radon from entering my life, I decided to get back to my altar project.

When I left this thread last, the beading had been clamped to the scraps cut out to form the double ogee arches above to assimilate the rough shape so that it would be easier to fasten in place. After a few days of hanging out around my forms, my beading that will be used to cover up the plywood edges and provide some detail interest had warped enough to allow me to fasten it on easier though it would still require a lot of clamping to hold it until the glue dried. So I spent a day applying the beading, waiting for the glue to cure and then continuing with another vertical strip. The bottom beading will be applied maybe tomorrow and then the real fun of lots of sanding can begin in earnest.
