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

So I am back on this project. At this point I've ruffed both out & I'm ready to lay in the detail.

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. |

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. |

I spray clear on first & use a really water wet rag. Ring it more or less in a bucket often. The Behr foax glaze comes off EZ. |

Urethane then stain? That’s breaking my brain, the stain goes through the finish? I usually use Spar Urethane. |

No, the stain goes first then the clear then the blacking treatment. That way the black foax mix comes off EZ. Then more clear. |
