Finished up some mink I tanned,tumbled and glazed.


And had a rotten deck Board that needed changed.




See a lot of decks in bad shape.
A little mainrenance here and there and they last forever.

Those deck joists look new


Mink .......Nice!!!

Had the deck built about 15 years ago.

What is glazed? I'm not familiar with that term

Polish the guardhair.
You can use talc in the tumble to glaze the guardhair,but talc dust is not good for you.
I use mineral spirits and cob grit.

Thanks for the explanation Boco. I do like shiny guard hair it really makes the pelts stand out and "come alive"

Those mink look awesome

Those mink look great.

Nice mink!
Is that trim clad on the deck?

Behr solid colour stain,
I shovel the snow off the deck in winter so I give it a touch up about every 3rd year.Anything standing upright is good.The top of the handrail I had to re do this summer.(wire brush,sand and stain)Wood was good,just the stain wore off.
The rotten deck board was the only one,It was heart wood in the lumber by the look of it,water got in there thru cracks and it got spongy,all the rest are solid.

You're a handy kind of guy to have around Boco. Nice work on your projects.

What was it Red Green said=if the women dont find you handsome they should at least find you handy,lol.

I am in awe of your skills. The mink look incredible. I can’t get excited about carpentry but good job anyways!!!!

I wish my coon looked d as good as the mink.

Canadians like that paint on stuff,,,,,,look like it worked for the joists.....

Another small project on the go-18 red squirrels in the pickle today.
