The process of staining the first coat was really fun, but at the same time absolutely horrible. Everything had to be done perfectly, and I could only do two sides of each piece at a time so that it could dry before being placed on a surface. The problem with doing only two sides and then waiting for it to dry is that it takes around 2 hours to dry, and sides would tend to drip as they were perpendicular from the level ground.
The final look of the first coat is really beautiful, it turned a much darker brown than the original reddish chocolate color. It took around 6 hours give or take to finish painting all of these pieces, and that was entirely in a stuffy controlled environment which made things more uncomfortable.
