    Pine cabinet

    http://www.sawmillcreek.org/attachme...id=15833&stc=1I just finished finnishing a new cabinet for SWMOB using a new (to me) prosces. The pine is sanded to 180 grit and then coated with a mixture of H2O and drain cleener.
    This turns the pine yellow but the color goes away . After letting it dry overnight I applyed a coat of light brown Briwax. Buff the wax when dry and apply 2 more coats of wax buffing each. This gives the pin a look of 200 year old antique. Hope the pics satisfy the pic police and thanks for looking

    Looks great...my wife likes that look. Does the grain raise much when you do that kind of finish?

    Pine cabinet

    Very nicely done, Dave. Did you use an inner liner for the shelving or did you drill directly into the side boards?

    If you got to where you were going where would it be?

    The grain didn't seem to raise but I fotgot to mention that the wax is applied with 4 ot steel wool wich probably cuts any down. The finish is smooth as a baby's but.

    The holes are drilled directly into the sides. Used a method I picked up watching the router workshop. Used a piece of tempered hardboard with 7/16" holes evenly spaced and used a router with a 7/16 colar and a 1/4" bit to drill the holes.

    David,
    Nice job, looks great. What kind of drain cleaner did you use? Does it matter?

    Nice job on that cabinet, David!! It looks great.

    Yes, the lye in the drain cleaner will "age" the wood somewhat, as do a few other chemicals...Jeff Jewitt has information about these in one or more of his finishing books.

    I believe any liquid drain cleaner will work. complete instructions can be found on Briwax web sight.
