There are 64 countersunk screws in each chair, and every single one of them will need to be plugged. It's a long job, but somebody's got to do it. It's the price I pay, the investment I make, to ensure my chairs are weather-tight. I start by cutting my own oak plugs on the drill press. A little dab of glue on each plug and we fill the hole. Once the glue is dry it's a matter of cutting away the excess plug and paring it flush to the surface with a sharp chisel. Now we're ready for final sanding and a coat of primer. We'll apply two coats of Ben Moore's finest exterior acrylic over the weekend. Then Kay and Jim's chairs will be ready for delivery. Just in time for early spring lounging.
