Getting close to the bottom

It's difficult getting some of these strips on!  I'm getting close to the bottom part though, then I'll get to work on the deck.  I'm getting better but it takes a lot of my patience.

The hard part is getting the strip to twist and getting it to lay against the forms.  Even when using staples and/or a finish nail it is hard to get it to go in place.  When you think you've got one spot secure and you go to work down the rest of the strip the beginning spot will come undone!

  1. Wow! That's looking great so far! Are you going to paint it when it's done?

  2. I want to stain it which will leave the grain of the wood visible but give it a very rich color. I'm thinking dark red.
