I picked up this piece for a good price, sans legs! Which is fine. I have been wanting
to order some hairpin legs and attach those to the right piece.
Looks pretty rough right?? Dont be afraid to pick up a piece that looks like this. Wood is so forgiving!
(Sometimes!) Although these are usually veneered, if the damage isnt too deep, you can sand it right off!
Take a peek at the after!
I was going to paint it. But the wood really turned out nice. Then I thought I would just paint the drawers. But they really turned out nice! Well I had to paint something! So I did the turquoise
on the insets, but it wasnt enough. So, I though I would try some graphic lines. Done!
Frog tape!
I did graduating grits for sanding, conditioned it prior to staining, used "Kona" to stain, another fine sanding, and then a semi-gloss sealer from "Deft". Used steel wool on that, and then a second coat!
Look at how rich this walnut is!! I just love it with turquoise or orange. Plus it fits the era.
