Black Ash Alcove Unit

[BradNaylor]

All the furniture in Mr & Mrs Brown's house is black; they had searched all over for a black unit for this alcove to no avail. Brad came to the rescue!

I actually used oak insead of ash as I had enough off-cuts in stock. The result was exactly the same.

Another nice easy week of pottering...

:lol:

Brad, what are you going to say to Mr Brown when the boot polish wears off?

Dead easy. Morrells black light-fast stain - sprayed on and ragged off twice to give complete coverage, followed by a couple of coats of 10% AC lacquer.

The important thing to remember is to arris all edges and corners slightly so that the stain doesn't sand off when you are denibbing between coats of lacquer.

Cheers

Nice work Brad.

I can see you getting repeat work out of this too when they take the finish off that laptop tray when they forget it is out and tw@t it with the kitchen door!
