My better half was interested on a night table that was on sale at Westelm. and the description says "parchment lacquer finish." Being a noobie and foolishly claiming that "I can build that for you!" ...now i'm on the hook….
does anyone know what this type of finish is done?
Yeah well I checked out Shipwrights link, and if you doing it as per all I can say is:
Good Luck with that!
Otherwise I think faux is swedish for fake.
So I then went and checked out Loren's post
Possibly again a reasonable amount of skill is even required to achieve that finish also.
But as above, again Good luck with that too.
I will await your first project post, its gunna be a blinder!
As a marriage veteran, let me help you out. Here's the pitch: So hon, I brought this up on LJ, and the main concern is with durability. They suggested Arm-R-Seal, so I think that's what we should go with.
See? Easy-peasy.
Oh, I guess I forgot to mention that I am indeed a veteran… of two marriages that both ended in divorce. But take my word for it anyway

I had the opportunity to play around with some of the scraps left over from the desk mentioned above. Parchment is cool stuff. Here is a link to my experiments. http://lumberjocks.com/shipwright/blog/35459

that is beautiful finish. so that i can grasp the concept…Parchment is a thin panel (either thin plastic or wood veneer) that you can glue onto workpiece? or might it be a type of a finish like paint, stain n such?
