Hello -
I am new to forum, (and a beginner with furniture) and looking for some assistance on my current project.
I am about to finish a PINE kitchen table, but the legs have an orange color them, versus the traditional "White" of the rest of it. I want to make both of these surfaces to match as closely as possible.
My plan to finish is to apply Conditioner, Then Water Based Dye (Brown), Then Clear Shellac, Then A Glaze (with Van **** Brown Oil Paint), Then top coat. My goal is to create an "Aged" look based on article I read online about this finishing process.
I have attached a photo of the table, and a closeup of the two surfaces.
My thought was to add, some red to the dye mixture I apply to the "white" surfaces, and omit the red for the surfaces that are a little red-ish...
Any thoughts on what color would best turn the white pine to match the red pine, that I could add to the dye for the white surfaces?
Any overall thoughts on how to accomplish this? Unfortunately I do not have any spare pine with this red color to experiment on...
And if you feel this is impossible, I can accept that :blink:
Thanks!
Dave
