Thanks for sharing the photo, also how you made it and why you chose the colors and design. It makes it more meaningful when we get the full story!

I primed it well using exterior primer. I used exterior paint to paint it and put several coats of a sealant on the top. Hope this is helpful.

Thank you so much for sharing your techniques. That treated ply- and wood are devilishly heavy!

We have some barn quilts in the Tillamook area on the Oregon coast. Love finding them when we are passing through. Great job on yours! I am sure your dad loves it!
