Looks like I moved it with that hand truck. Not. It's 3000lbs or more.

That's impressive. I love the finish.

WC

Thanks for noticing the finish.

I ran out of my favorite color finish & have been using other colors but I keep thinking i don't like them as much as I like Sedona Red.

So I made a point to get a can & yes I like it better too.

Lookin good boss

Amazing work. I'm looking for staining ideas and you have some amazing finishes on your work.

My biggest secrete is the magic blacking treatment. I would tell you guys but I usually have to kill you after I tell you since it'd a secrete.

In some circles they call it antiquing. but with black.

Use water based black fo finnish stuff. Put it on liberally I wipe it off with a wet rag.

It lay's in the cracks & crevices. you can't see it but it makes every thing pop.

I guess it's out there now.

Cool tip, thanks. I've also seen it done with burnt sienna and mineral spirits.

I'm worried that palm doesn't that smooth, and I won't be able to wipe it off properly. Maybe after a coat of urethane I can do a pass like that then another coat of urethane to seal it.

Great, now he’s gonna take us all out
