| Start with fresh wood that has no oils or grease on it. Stain first if you desire a darker than natural finish. Seal wood with a sanding sealer. |
|
|
| Brush on a flat white latex paint. |
|
|
| Wipe off with a rag leaving the surface relatively clean, except for low spots as shown. Work on only a big enough area that the paint stays wet during this process. |
|
|
| After paint is dry, sand smooth. |
|
|
| Apply two coats of gloss or satin varnish. |
|
|
| Your finished product looks like a million dollars, and so simple! |
