Some of you who frequent the shop might have seen me working on these railings and the pillars and some asked for pictures and I kept saying “as soon as they are done”. Well they are finally done

Congratulation! These are beautiful!
What kind of wood and what is the finish?

Wow, so extensive.
No wonder it took so long.
And now the important question …
does Farnaz like the final result? 
Thank you. the wood is clear KD Doug Fir and finished with oil-based gel stain, couple of coats of sanding sealer and 2 coats of oil-based marine Spar Varnish. I got a tip from the gentleman who owns the paint store next to the shop to tint my varnish with a little bit of the stain to increase the UV protection. This is why I went with an oil-based stain, so I could mix it with the varnish. The parts that I could finish before installing were sprayed and the parts that had to be finished in place, I brushed.
It took longer that I had planned, but she does like the final result. The problem is now the rest of the list
