First I'm seeing this thread also...where the heck have I been?
Really fine work, Peter!!!
This is a great thread for those that want an idea of what it takes to do good paint work. Having done a lot of custom woodwork and refinishing, I know that the sanding and surface prep take the most time. Do you want to give us a rough idea of the hours spent on each piece?
