This is my latest project. I built this for a wedding gift for my nephew. hopefully this will be a functional piece in their house for many years in the future.
I used milk paint and sanded it with 400 grit sandpaper to try to give a antique look (not sure I was sucessfull or not). Then I applied 2 coats of shellac to everything except the top. I used 4 coats of Spar Urethane on top. Hopefully it will hold up to kitchen use better. Now to make one for my wife. Thanks for looking.

That is really good. Great rustic finish as well.

Looks good! I make some primitive furniture like this also. After painting and sanding I will rub in a coat of stain, let dry and then finish with shellac. The stain really adds to the aged look.
Have Fun!
