She Uses STAIN to Create a Detailed, Artistic Compass Rose Drum Table
I'm sharing with you another of my stain art projects. Some of you may have seen the video tutorials with a sneak peak. This was certainly the most detailed work I have done to date. And I loved every minute of it!!
She started out as a ordinary drum table with a few nicks and scuffs. But she found her way.....
I started out with the base. I used a grey chalk paint and added some distressing with white chalk paint and ebony stain. I finished it off with wax and polished her up with brown paper.
Now for the top - the icing on the cake! I painted with 3 coats of chalk paint after doing a quick sanding.
I found this image of a compass rose that I liked. I then pieced together the scroll work to make the final inspiration image:
I transferred the image onto the table. As you can see, I don't put every little line/ detail onto the tabletop... just the basic outlines.

You've outdone yourself on this one! Such great detail. If you sell these, I hope you command one heck of a price! You should list these on Etsy or Chairish with custom design options. You'd make quite a bit!
