To successfully paint wood furniture black is often difficult. Topcoats commonly turn out streaky on top of black paint.
Black and white are some of the hardest paint colours to finish well but fortunately, I found a combination that gives a great result.
The wood cabinet
My friend saw this cabinet on Facebook Marketplace. The owner had been trying to sell it unsuccessfully and eventually listed it for free, saying it would go to the dump the next day.
It would have been such a shame if this had been thrown away.

Wow! You did a beautiful job, and thanks for such clear and detailed instructions. Thank you for sharing
Why Hemp oil over DB Silk? Silk already has a finish in it.
I do like the dramatic look the black paint creates but what was wrong with the original wood finish?
