burning barrel (from household burnables) ashes are ok to mix in. does anyone know? and how much to add?

the privilege to work on. A client brought an old, damaged farm table to me to refurbish. It had been built by a member of her family and was a sentimental piece for her. At first glance, it looked beyond repair. In fact, my husband thought I was crazy to even bother working on it. But with a lot of elbow grease, care and patience and of course, paint, I was able to turn the broken table into a sturdy and unique coffee table. Lots of pics and details of how I did it are on the blog! #mycurrentproject http://www.storywooddesigns.com/2013/03/01/a...
