My Latest piece created for the Fab furniture Flipping contest "Icing On The Cake" includes some dos and don'ts to prevent stain bleed through.

Made this project in just under deadline due to some hiccups from mahogany stain bleeding through my paint!

The Before Shot

As found roadside, mostly structurally sound, only needed the thin backboard replaced, thought this would be a quick project. Needless to say lost one whole day due to having to strip the whole piece, because I used the wrong product to seal the piece first.

Really Strong Adhesive, tiny nail brads, wood putty and clamps used to hold down trim on a bowed piece.

Did you just glue the maps on the front of the drawers? Or is it decoupage? Your final piece is beautifully done.

I love this piece, especially the use of the map. I love maps and want to incorporate them into our decor somehow. I'm saving this for future inspiration :-).
