Natural Buffet Table
I’ve always wanted to do a natural piece, but knew it was a lot of work. I got a new toy last week, a soda blaster!! It’s the greatest thing ever! !
Best electric sander!
its hard to believe how gorgeous the wood is under the stain! I’m loving it already!
I forgot to get a proper picture! 😂
i had to take advantage of the weather, it’s been beautiful!
It took a while to get used to using the soda blaster. It comes with a hood, you also have to wear a mask and protective glasses as it flies everywhere and you certainly don’t want to breath that in.
i actually ended up hand sanding because my. Compressor got water in it, I need to buy a gadget for that 😳 I used my orbit hand held sander, then a sand block to smooth it out!
using a fine sand block, I sanded it all down just to smooth it out!, then mixed about a quarter cup of white paint with about two cups of water.
Once I liked the amount of wash, I let it dry, then gave it two coats of polyurethane to seal. I used miniwax semi gloss. You can find it at Home Depot.
I decided to keep the original hardware because it just looked right and I love it!
The natural tones are just gorgeous!
Theres always one piece that I fall in love with and want to keep, but I don’t need it 😞 it’ll be so beautiful in an entryway, dining room ect.. it’ll be available soon at Beachwood Place inside 3 Little Black Birds!
It was definitely a lot of work, I wish I could do it more often. I hope everyone had a great weekend, thanks for stopping by and let me know if you have any questions. Have a great week!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Great job and love the idea of soda blasting vs sand blasting. Sand can actually damage wood if you aren't a professional.
Can we correct the statement that this is "natural"? After the whitewash was applied, the wood was no longer natural. It looks more like weathered wood now.
I would have just put a water based matte poly on it or used a good oil finish. But that is just my opinion.
What kind of air compressor goes with this soda gun??
Ok good to know ! Is that expensive ? Or hard to find ? If you reply I.m very grateful let me know I.appreciate it very much !! And good for you " that way you can absolutely do that and have the most beautiful natural woods on furniture and get creative with so many stencils and paintings to add to you're decor or you're desired art .
