Three coats went on over this dark finish lightly sponge sanding between coats and distressing of the edges.
To add dimension and age, I used
Fusion's espresso wax. (L) It goes so well with the natural top and warm white base. (R) The entire base; back, front and inside were all dark waxed.
The next issue this desk presented was tilted drawers!
It seems the runners were affixed much lower then level which made them not close flush. See the original position outlined in over spray of the original finish? I moved them up at least 1/2" higher.
And now they close perfectly. And that is a wrap for this lovely desk.
Isn't that grain gorgeous?
