weathered wood

...Some of the frames that I offer, handmade with love in the U.S.A. using organic milk paint ...note the steps behind, these are what all those sanding references were about. I refinished these myself, removing about 500 layers of paint and varnish, probably dating back to when the house was built. Stripped with an eco-friendly gel stripper, an electric hand sander, and coated with a water-based stain/sealant in one.  They turned out SO much better than just slapping another coat of paint on top! <3
