Anyone else who feels the need to glaze? It just makes a huge difference from a flat finish to a fantastic finish especially when there are carved areas that should pop and not get lost. I found this beauty of a dresser on CL a while back. The carvings on it are amazing! The disaster of a garage in the background not so much.
There were a couple of carved pieces missing so I used this method to replace them.
Usually I glaze the entire piece but this one I decided just to highlight the carved areas and recessed trim with glaze.
Love what glazing does.
I really love this one. The wood top is so pretty and happily didn't take long to remove the old stain. I gave it a fresh coat of Minwax Dark Walnut. The paint color was a concoction of oops paints left over paint from my new bathroom color. I'll post about that soon....changin' up the bathroom on the cheap.
