Whiskey Cabinet BS

Start with drinking that full one so it matches the set

Still thinking a real light stain (possibly grey tint) would be a good contrast. Kind of that weathered look.

 

Haha! Obviously I drank all the other bottles! The 200ml ones are hard to come by around here.

 

Well this didn't make it any easier!!

 

Go with the pink

 

Always a solid choice

 

Well this is what I chose...

 

Well.. I'm not sure I'm happy with this... I know it's a stain and not a paint... I guess I didn't know what I was expecting. It's only recommended to do 1 coat with this stuff... Thoughts?

 

If ya was close to me I would wrap all the edges with riveted flat bar.

 

You should hand scrape the wood then stain it then poly it. Our last house I had all hand scraped hardwood floors installed when I built it. Really cool look.

 

Well...this stuff is stain and poly all in one.. so it's a 1 step process which is likely why only one coat is recommended.

Haha I used up my like for rivets on the last failed project!

 

Different style from what you used.

 

maybe some decorative tacks on the edge... round, flat "1/2 "

I like it! Maybe not for this project.. but another.

Maybe on a different project

 

Ya I don’t use the combined stuff. You should check out the scraped wood. Really cool looking effect that makes the wood look old and used.

 

Wrecked ship wood is cool to work with

 

Well after sitting in the sun for a few hours it definitely darkened up.. I'm liking it more now


Just laid the test piece inside a box and I like the contrast with the hardboard backing too

 

@Kanyon71 here's a idea for ya!!

 

Can definitely do that.

 

Darkened up nicely. I think it'll look good! Subtle color to keep the focus on the bottles. Lighting additions?

 

also pine will darken a little over time. So it will get darker. To a shade more like golden oak. So it will look better as it ages
