I have been wanting to create a rustic bench and finally my husband had the time to build me one. Although it was not the design I had shown him I wanted he created this from a 6 foot 2X10 and a 6 foot 2x6.
As per all my pieces, I scrub them well with soap and water and leave to dry before starting to paint. I went with
Old Fashioned Milk Paint. It will be perfect for this raw wood rustic look.
I started with
pitch black,
then
slate, randomly until all the wood was covered then left to dry
the entire piece, again top and bottom was completely covered in
snow white
Once dry I sanded it down with a orbital sander as well as hand sanded before putting 2 coats of clear varathane on all sides to give durability.
To add detail and dimension I added
Daddy Van's black wax , perfect!
