Tent Poles

Background:  I was getting very tired of the plain poles we had and wanted to spice up our tents. I was originally going to stain the wood, but the stain was very expensive. So I wound up painting them. I used latex paint, but even with a few days of drying outside, 2 weeks of storage and then 2 weeks of Pennsic, the paint never completely dried until AFTER Pennsic was over!

The green was supposed to match my tent trim and the blue my daughter's but both came out MUCH lighter than was on the can even with multiple coats!
