If you see something you dont like, dont look, and especially dont write some rude negative crap on someone elses art. That table took lots of time and is increadably unique! Its not something i would do, simply because I dont think I have the skill or ability too! Try creating something for yourself that you like instead of criticizing someone elses hard work. Beth, great table! You are super talented! Keep up the beautiful work! Thank you for sharing! Much love and aloha!

You should apologize. Try to take the positive from things rather than griping about the slightest irrelevant points. Personally, I agree that I would not likely use that technique on walnut because I love the natural look of walnut. But, I am certainly open to experiment on a scrap or crap piece and change my mind if I felt compelled to do so. This is all Beth was trying to give us and I appreciate the great pictures and thoughtful insights and instructions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002003696236844231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705972006763783321.post-66683892192455197072018-03-10T06:54:48.971-08:002018-03-10T06:54:48.971-08:00I had the same question about raising the grain. ...I had the same question about raising the grain. I have used water-based dyes and love them except they definitely raise the grain and require a post-dye light sanding with perhaps 320 grit. Then another dye if needed. The final smoothing of the rough raised grain can be done with even newspaper. So, on the one hand we want grain raised, but not a rough surface. I think it is a really cool technique and would love to try it and see how I deal with the raised vs smoothness question.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002003696236844231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705972006763783321.post-50027189747174773342018-03-07T20:20:49.091-08:002018-03-07T20:20:49.091-08:00Amanda..glad you like it. calm the F down you luna...Amanda..glad you like it. calm the F down you lunatic. <br />As for the walnut one you;re referring too,,,I painted the inside w/green. the inside was not walnut. This piece cost me $50. It was a cheap piece. and it looked like hell before I painted it. It was not some rare mid century modern one of kind collectable. I really don't know what your problem is. But the next time you decide to go off on a psychotic tirade, do it elsewhere. Why you think you have the right to come on here and lecture me about furniture is a mystery. Do some homework and educate yourself on collectable furniture pieces. this wasn't one of them.

This made me want to vomit. Wretched idea and the next time you have some hare brained idea like this take it out on a cheap piece of crap furniture rather than a classic, beautiful MCM piece.
