Something I like to do with the poly is use the disposable sponge brushes. I’ve found that you don’t get those brush marks that you were talking about with a regular paint brush. But really cool idea look forward to trying it on my farmhouse table.
Great tips for aging pine. I never knew you could thin oil-based poly with mineral spirits. I don't like the brush marks a brush leaves either and the thick poly.
I actually love the way pine looks. Real pine...not pressure treated wood. Pressure treated wood is toxic btw and really should not be used for something that people would be eating off of.
I purchased a pine bedroom set that I want to strip and refinish and I think this would look great. Have you tried it on pine wood you stripped of old stain? This is a large set of furniture and I really want an older looking wood....your right pine is boring. Thanks!
I've never tried to strip wood and do this afterwards. My suggestion would be to give it a try somewhere on the back or on the bottom. If it works, great... do the whole thing. If it looks bad, at least no one will see an area on the back. Wish i had better information.
I was just joking man. I was picturing a 10 foot long microwave and found it funny. I've never tried to put wood in the microwave. I didn't even know that would work.
Nice trick. Have you tried sanding a bit after burning the wood? Or burning it more heavily and then sanding? I have just started experimenting with trying to make pine look more interresting as well. Cheers and thanks for sharing. You have a new sub ;-) Oh, and if you have the inclination, stop by my tiny channel and show some support. Thx.
