Popular Post Zoot Fenster Posted March 28, 2021 Popular Post Report Posted March 28, 2021 Another Wise lesson project. Place 3/8" poplar over 3/4" mahogany and cut to fit with a walnut sole. Use the cutouts as shims. I can not find white wood in my area, so I used Pickling White gel stain. Wiped on two coats... not impressed... then just painted on a slightly thinned coat. It is okay if you don't look too close. The pattern had a clock insert that I replaced with a Texas star. Wood burned stitching. Dremel carved grooves to simulate worn leather. Overall, a fairly easy project. Up next, Girl with Boots. But I have to make a king bed with drawers for one of the kids, so it will be another month or so.

meflick Posted March 28, 2021 Report Posted March 28, 2021 Nice job. I think the white pickling stain is more to use to try and keep a white wood white longer versus trying to make non white wood white. At least that’s is how I have seen it used and used it myself. amazingkevin and GrampaJim 2 Quote
