Emperor’s Silk Table

November 7, 2012 Rachel 6 Comments

Remember this little table from a few weeks ago? Kinda blah.
Last week, I finally got around to painting her Emperor’s Silk (two coats) and dark waxing her. I made the mistake of putting the clear wax too heavy and after a day it still was a little…. not smooth, so I had to rub her down with a clean cloth to get extra wax off. Then she finally dried. Lesson learned! I would say it is easy to put on too much clear wax with the wax brush, especially if you don’t have a clean cloth to wipe excess off right away. I forgot about it since I was doing the dark wax right after, but I sure remembered after a day and still tacky! Here are some close ups of the awesome texture I was able to achieve. No distressing this gal!

Simple, yet bold. 🙂
