First Coat!

I got my first coat of urethane on my brightwork today!!! Been a long time coming. 

I decided to go ahead and attach my strap eyes and fairleads first. I'm just going to paint them white so no need to wait. Eight fairleads and twelve strap eyes.

Then I went to painting. It looks much darker with that urethane.

My bench is loaded with the little stuff including my tiller hanging from the shelves.

It took over 4 hours. Next coat may go a little quicker but I've got to lightly sand the surfaces first. Not sure whether it's going to take 3 or 4 coats. Spars took 4.
