Latest project

[scoobyJ]

Here is lastest project...trying to do a primitive/rustic finish. My sister lives in WV where primitive decor is quite popular and she sends me requests. I've noticed it slowly taking some interest here in our area. Will be interesting to see if it catches on.

Nice Looking piece. Give us some building details and such.

1 x pine with simple butt joints as is the style from what my sister has been telling me. They also incorporate dovetail joints too but that is for future projects. Stand was base coated with black paint, followed by coat of burgandy, sanded down to black and bare wood at random and then a coat of jacobean stain was applied. Finally sealed with flat sealer. I had fun with it. When I was putting on coat of burgandy my husband came into shop and I could see his apparent fib when I asked him how it looked so far...it was the ugliest dark pink you could imagine. He was really impressed once the coat of stain was on there. It was funny...he had really doubtful look on his face before I got finished...LOL

Nice work SJ. Is that a design your sister came up w/ or is it a fairly typical piece for her area?

PS: I'm biting my tongue to keep from making a snide remark about "primitive" and WV in the same sentence. Sorry, I couldn't resist. :rotflm:

I like the piece alot, but I think the finish is even better ! Finishing in this style is not anywhere as easy as it looks.

Good Job ! :icon_thum
