Depending on exactly what area you are covering veneer could be glued to it. Without seeing it I will offer another idea...Chalk Paint. Because it can be used on almost any surface with little or no prep. Using a distressing technique with the dark wax would add a nice touch.
Chalk painting it will mean that you will likely not have to do any prep work - and you can still do a wax finish!
William, this system won't let me reply to you. It keeps coming up 'reply to Lauri'. But thank you William. I did see some of those so I'm assuming that the rocker tool with a soft brush or whisk is the best way to go. I probably won't get to this project until fall, but I want to practice on something plain in between projects I'm doing this summer.
The person I'm doing this for is very traditional and conservative. That's why I think the darker wood grain will be best. My idea is to use the wood grain on the top (and maybe the drawers) then paint the rest with gray paint. I've thought about doing that part with chalk paint but I really don't want the distressed look. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Always good to get some practice on a sample board! Have a good day.
