if you don't like the original color and don't want it to show, paint a base coat and seal with clear wax.
PAINT & SAND
02.
After the second coat of Coco, lightly sand the piece in the direction of the wood grain.
APPLY LIMING WAX
03.
Lightly brush the surface of your piece IN THE SAME DIRECTION as your wood grain/sanding. You are NOT trying to cover the piece, but just create some lines throughout.
ADD WAX
04.
Once covered in Clear Wax and BEFORE the wax dries, apply Dark Wax. Using a different stiff brush, lightly dip the brush into the Dark Wax and then blot off excess on a dry rag.
