Yes, I already had started sanding when I remembered to take a picture! But not too much. I am still in love with the walnut top/creamy bottom combination.
I used Minwax Dark Walnut stain again. It is gorgeous on oak! I know I put at least two coats of stain on. It could have been three! Then I gave it three coats of polyurethane.
Next I tackled the base of the table. I used a brush and gave it a coat of Zinser 1-2-3 primer. I am liking this brand better than Kilz, I think. Then I chose NOT to use Rustoleum Heirloom White spray paint for this project.
I chose not to use stain as my glazing medium this time, but instead I used diluted burnt umber craft paint. The color is a great match, but more importantly, I had more control than I do with stain.
