The miniature Japanese house I was inspired to finish while looking at beautiful woodwork in Tasmania has finally been finished. I didn't cut any of the pieces, it was bought on ebay with pre-cut pieces, so it was more like assembling a jigsaw (another of my passions), with some additional varnishing, sanding and glueing. Here's a pic with a lego ninja (ninjago) so you can see how big/small it is. I also plan to add some rice paper to the windows and door so I guess it isn't 100% completely finished yet, but it's very close.
This picture doesn't show the stain/varnish particularly well, I used a Cabot's Stain & Varnish in Red Mahogany Satin which is a really beautiful reddish brown. I have plenty left so now I'm wondering what I can use it on in a more authentic wood working project. A shelf of some kind to hold my japanese house and kokeshi dolls would be nice. Time to draw up some plans :P
