Noob here....
I'm building myself an entertainment center (an easy build just to get some basics skills).....
the top and face of the entertainment center are pine
the structure an shelves are MDF
I'd like to finish the the pine section with a clear finish ....leaning towards tung oil
the MDF I want to paint black.
ideally going for the color scheme seen on the table in the top section of this photo i found online:
MY QUESTION .....do I assemble the whole thing and then try to mask off while doing the various finishes? (and should I do a certain one before the other?)
or should I paint it first and then attach the pine top and face pieces and then finish them with the oil
or something else?
I have the structure built and am ready to go to the next step....I just don't know what step that is
see...told ya it was noob-ish
