The English School - KuwaitTOP IMAGEThis image shows all of the solid beech timber required for your boards. All timber is now planed and finished to the correct dimensions except for the lengths. Timber within the white oval line is for the fluted vertical columns. There is more timber shown than is required for your work, this is because a certain percentage will be rejected as either faulty, or uninteresting, or because I make a mistake. |

|
SECOND IMAGE FROM TOP Timber within the turquoise oval is the 12mm X 12mm quadrant used for an innner part of the frame on three sides. Also shown is the 70mm X 30mm timber for the capping pieces. Timber within the white oval is the 45mm X 20mm for the bottom edge bevelled pieces |
|
|
THIRD IMAGE FROM TOP This shows one of the veneered sheets being cut to size. The standard width of the sheet is 1220mm. The width being cut for your boards is 670mm. We choose the most attractive part of the board that has a balanced or symmetrical grain pattern and cut that part out. The rest of the board is rejected. |
|
|
FOURTH IMAGE FROM TOP Here you can see the chosen part of the board to be used in your work, with the rejected pieces either side. The photo and light isn't great and it's hard to see the subtle grain pattern of beech but you may be able to just about see enough to get my point. |

FIFTH IMAGE FROM TOP All five boards have been assembled using glue and screws and are now ready to have their three sided inner frame of 12mm quadrant measured, cut to size and glued in place. Four of the boards are shown in this image, the fifth is shown below. |
|
|
SIXTH IMAGE FROM TOP Three pieces of quadrant have been cut to approximate length prior to accurate measuring, cutting and fixing in place. It will take 8 to 10 hours to finish this stage. Following this, ten 70mm lengths will be cut and fixed in place at the top of each column. The boards have all been sanded ready to receive their first coat of varnish which will probably be on Friday the 20th of April but it could be late on Thursday afternoon. Four to seven coats of varnish are required with 24 hours between coats. 48 hours of hardening through is then required, following which we can begin applying the graphics. |

|
SEVENTH IMAGE FROM TOP The inner three sided frame of 12mm quadrant is being glued into place. |
|
|
EIGHTH IMAGE FROM TOP 4mm is trimmed off of one side of the quadrant before being cut to length and glued in place. |
|
|
NINTH IMAGE FROM TOP As this feature is a little vulnerable, we have added a strengthening screw the head of which is embedded within the quadrant and hidden with a filler. |
|
|
TENTH IMAGE FROM TOP The filler has been sanded smooth, level with the surface of the timber. |
|
|
ELEVENTH IMAGE FROM TOP Two coats of varnish are applied by brush to the backs of the boards |
|
|
TWELFTH IMAGE FROM TOP The second coat of varnish is being applied to the front of all boards. The third has since been applied, two to four coats to go. Each coat is sanded with wet and dry abrasive paper useing progressively finer grits. |
