Whirlpool Decking -- Awaiting Stain!

Well, I now have almost all the preparations done for the wood under and around the whirlpool ready for stain...  I have to do a tiny bit of wood filler to fix one of the joins on the decking, but it is one that isn't quite as immediately visible, so it shouldn't be too critical.  I must say that the joints came together on the decking much better than I had expected.  I am going to glue underneath the boards now just to completely secure them to the 2x4 framing rather than using finish nails through it.  It should be pretty solid...

I also finished the routing around the front deck boards, though the detail is really hard to see in the pictures -- the flash "hides" the shadow the detail shows in normal indoor lighting...  The stain and finish should bring it out a lot, but it will still be difficult to capture in pictures...
