Another Trestle Bench

I forgot to get a before photo of this one. I got it at GW and someone had already stripped part of it...and left layers of stripper on it. So that was fun...trying to sand off and wipe off stripper that was possibly years old *eye roll*

Anyway, I did my tried and sometimes true method of steel wool and vinegar, but since part of the old finish hadn't been totally removed, it left me with some orange spots that looked like some sort of wild animal.

So then I did a layer of pickled oak stain. And then I dry brushed a medium gray all over...in several coats.

And here she is during her photo shoot last night:











Enjoy!!
