San Fran porch railing.

The dowels provided in the kit for the 1st-floor porch fretwork were too big to string beads on, so I hunted around and found some thick wire and beads that would fit on it, and braced up the back of the porch decoration piece with square rod; drilled holes in the rod to support the wire, and braced the wires on the top with matboard.

Painted the beads and wire; everything needs a couple coats of semi-gloss now to seal.

The gussets needed some extra prep care-- the sides were very rough so I smoothed spackle over them and painted a couple times.

Need to get back inside and finish out the room trimming (inbetween shingle layers).
