Ellis-Mackintosh-Limbert mashup table #3: Glaze applied

Hey, that’s looking good now.
GF Antique Walnut is one of my favorite stains. I don’t love gel stains in general, but that one is more workable than most. On smaller pieces gel stains is manageable.

What I love about that stain is it creates an instant antique look. That’s hard to find, and worth replicating when you do.

Bravo sir!

did you follow Jeffs formula and seal the dye or did you glaze right over the dye?

I used an ebony gel stain for the first time and I’m not sure how well I like it.

I’ve always used Minwax “gunstock” stain to achieve the old oak look but I really like the look you got with the Antique Walnut.

Thanks, guys. I pretty much follow Jeff’s recipe, step for step. Not only is he a finishing genius, he’s from the same city I am — Cleveland!

PS: Willie, your work is really incredible. I’ll be digging in to your posts from now on.
