Bench work

Each season our benches that are placed out on each hole are brought in for painting.  A few weeks ago I described in an earlier post that the paint was being scraped away and another layer of green paint was going to be applied.  The staff suggested that we strip the paint and stain the benches this season.  I'm always willing for a little change so I told them to take care of it.  They stripped all the paint off of the benches, sanded the remaining material away and placed a nice coat of a sable colored semi-transparent stain and then placed a clear coat over the benches to help provide protection from moisture.  I think the finished product looks great!


The benches from the initial chipping of the paint.  The guys then coated them with stripper and peeled away the paint.  The benches were power sanded to remove the remaining paint and smooth the surface for staining.

Sitting boards were removed to get the paint off of the edges and to repaint the legs.  The seat back is in the sanded stage waiting for the stain.
