Sideboard

Just finished this six month late Christmas gift for my son & daughter-in-law.  Used the track saw and domino a lot on this project.

I happen to think it looks nice! I have an Oak sideboard that is partially finished that I need to get back to. Maybe your post will motivate me to do so!

Looks good to me too. Looks like milk paint, is that what you used.

I haven't been on fog much lately...I love it! The color is sharp! Great job!

Thanks guys.  Yes it is milk paint (General Finishes).  I like it better than the milk paint in the bag, last much longer than the mix up kind.  This is the look my kids wanted so Dad has to make it like they want.  ;D

Rusty.  This a great looking piece that will be enjoyed by your family for quite some time.

I like the color it makes this piece for sure

Rusty:
What do you mean it lasts much longer? Does the General milk paint wear better or are you referring to pot life after mixing the powdered milk paint.
Another stupid question, did you topcoat the sideboard after applying the milk paint?

Pot life!  It comes in a can just like regular paint.  I did put a topcoat of waterbase Poly satin finish on top.  I do not like the glossy finishes, to me the satin looks much more natural.

PS. The color is Brick Red and it is also water base.

Nice looking piece.

 

[wow]

Now that I look at it a little more, it kinda looks like 'barn' red. I'll bet the milk paint really does make the look!

What's the wood underneath?

Pine!
