Distressed console tableThe original boring console table definitely needed a revamp.
It had a little damage on-top so I decided to go with a distressed look for a rustic modern vibe
Materials
starting with 80 grit sandpaper and worked my way up to 240 grit paper. Finishing in a 400 grit paper for a smooth finish
I used Cabot's stain and Vanish and had it tinted in colour Brazilian roast. I diluted the colour down with Cabot's cabothane clear sealer mixing 1 part stain varnish to 4 parts clear sealer
Tools
I used a chisel to remove square edges on parts of the legs
Tools
Tools used a hammer, bolt, chisel and other tools here to create the distressed texture on the timber.
I used a markita orbital sander on the entire piece.
Steps
Step 1
*After removing the back piece I cleaned it all down with sugar soap and warm water
*Started sanding with 80 Grit sandpaper working my way up to fine 240 - sandpaper and fine paper 400grit to smooth in between coats
