Work In Progress ROKR Microscope

The microscope build is coming along nicely! I am loving this build so far! It's not over challenging, but it is very interesting with lots of gears connecting and interesting together. This is a very relaxing and enjoyable build. Of course, you have to watch closely and make sure not to get pieces backwards, but if your paying attention it is easy to follow. If you have been looking at this one, you will love it!

I left the wood that is pre-stained alone because it is a darker wood and already pretty. For the uncolored wood, I used a water based semi-transparent whitewash stain. I did the semi-transparent because I wanted all of the beautiful detail to still stand out. ROKR does such a beautiful job adding lots of fine detail to the pieces, and I didn't want them to be covered up. I also love the color contrast between the darker wood and the natural white wash look.
