I recently got a job painting a pair of Mahogany end tables. I only took a picture of one but there are two of them and yes, that's a big hole in the top but these have a glass insert.

Each one got a coat of ASCP in Old Ochre


They were then given a coat of ASCP Aubusson Blue followed by a good sanding and some clear and dark wax, then buffed out.


They turned out very nice and the customer was very happy with them but I sure learned something as this was my first time for hire, I underestimated the time and cost as I ended up not having enough materials on hand to complete the job and had to buy a can of paint and both waxes. I chalked it up to a learning experience and advertising.

Bye for now,

Linda

  2. So true. My fear was when she picked them up that she wasn't going to like them and I was going to have to re-do them but I was spared that thank goodness.
