Steps I took to create this look:
- Cleaned with degreaser followed by Dawn dish soap and water
- Scuff sanded the entire piece with 220 grit sandpaper and my SurfPrep sander
- Filled the existing hardware holes with Kwikwood and sanded smooth
- Primed with shellac
- Painted in the color Thistle Green by Melange Paints
- Sealed with Polyvine Wax Finish Varnish in Deat Flat and my favorite top coating brush
- Drilled new hardware holes using a Kreg Hardware Jig to measure
- Added new hardware
