My wife had a concept: An old door or such as a headboard for the guest room
bed. No longer a concept. We now have two shutters to be re-programmed. Old
shutters. Probably early 19th C. Hand forged hardware. Big honkin’ strap hinges.
Square pegs in round holes. Paint that will probably fry your brain.
I scrubbed them w/ TSP today and got all the debris & loose stuff off. They will
need a finish to seal them up tight. All I can think of is shellac or poly.Don’t
want it to be too bright. Dull and flat is best.
Suggestions?
Bill
