This is test piece of the salvaged doug fir that I stained and rubbed with linseed oil. Next I taped and primed a strip of it then laid out this pattern (this is tile motif used at the Great Mosque of Kairouan in Tunisia 670 AD that I found in "Islamic Geometric Patterns" by Eric Broug). I then began painting it (Rachael helped) with some relatively cheap enamel - Testers brand, the same stuff my brother and I used on model airplanes when we were kids. It worked very well and I think this is method I will used to finish the Grotto.
