    WOW Autum you did a wonderful job! I need to check out your blog later for details on the finish. I thought I'd talked myself into painting our wood sunporch furniture, but my heart was never in it. Since I recently found replacement cushions and have been forced to think more about the finish I've be toying this aged raw look. It's so much more "us". I really like the idea of finishing with waxes. Thanks for the idea!
