I thought I was helping things along by turning on the air conditioner while finishing the woodwork. Maybe for the woodwork but not for my head....
To get the various coats of stain and varnish to dry faster and pick up less fuzzies in the process, I turned the newly installed Air Conditioner on. It worked well and made it quite comfortable to work during the mid-July heat wave. However, that also meant no fresh air and hours surrounded by fumes.... and, what fumes hangovers I had, waking up with quite the headaches after each day of staining or vanishing. Fortunately, the results were great - for the wood that is. See for yourself:

| Starting up the steps: Oak box newel w/recessed flat panels |

| To accommodate the winder treads: the tallest intermediate newel ever! |
