Hi,
This is job a that I carried out many years ago now and thought I should share it with you.
How about this beautiful rosewood circular table, that seems to have been used as an ironing board.
As you can see the shape left where the iron must have been laid, and the condensation that has gone into the surface and left its mark.
How did I get rid of this mark? I chose to strip off the old finish with a paint stripper to take it back to the wood.
Then as we do, I sanded the surface smooth in the direction of the grain, and after going through various grades of sandpaper, to eventually have a perfectly smooth surface on which to work.
Now came the stain, I used a rosewood fast-drying stain, that doesn't raise the grain, once dry, I had my spray gun ready with a Semi-Matt lacquer and sprayed over with several coats until I was happy that the grain had sufficient coats as to allow for the first few coats to sink onto the grain, and subsequent coats to build up the surface.
The pictures tell a thousand words.
Thank you for visiting my Blog site, I really appreciate it.
