Rub N Buff table with DIY compass Rose

I used Rub n Buff on this ENTIRE table to create an elegant gold end table. I then painted a Compass Rose on the top with 9 simple steps. I've included the 9 steps on my blog post in simple to use instructions.

This little table was covered in Rub N Buff from top to toe to create this gilded effect.

The before table was in sad repair, the wood badly damaged, and missing pieces.
