Today I started on my test board. In the picture you will see 4 sections. From left to right are the following, Yellow dye stain, Medium Brown Walnut pigment stain, Light Golden Oak dye stain, and bare wood. All stains were dry brushed after application to keep from getting blotchy. There is a coat of Zinnser Seal Coat over everything.
Next will be a 400 grit sanding followed by grain filler. Since I am grain filling the top , front, and sides of the cabinet, I want to get an idea of how the colors will show up. This way if I need to stain, I will know what direction to go.
The roll top has two coast of spray sanding sealer on it, and I would say a light sanding and it's ready for a top coat when I am ready to do so.
