OK Signs...

I love them,  love the written word,

love French (can't speak it or read it),

like the graphic nature of them,

 like to make them...

I love doing large scale on salvaged wood

 but I also kick out some smaller styles

 for sale in my shops.

 

In my last post I gave you a peek

at the shiny new...

While that is fine...I like

patina.

I want it distressed and aged

and full of layered goodness.

So I use my handy dandy palm sander. 

I use The Mouse.

   It is shaped like a little iron and works great for me.

I rough up everything a bit...

don't be finicky or nervous...just go for it.

I then use Briwax that can be found

at better furniture stores.

This time I used light brown. 

I also use a cheap chip brush and rubber gloves. 

This stuff is smelly and stains!

(You can look up a previous post I did on waxing

for more info.)

 

I apply it liberally and

smudge,

technical word,

it into all the nooks and crannies.

If I want it very light, I rub off immediately. 

If I like it darker, I let cure about 30 min. or so, then buff lightly.

It is a dramatic change when side by side

with the non-waxed.

After the wax cures,

I just rub lightly with a soft cloth or paper towel.

I love the depth the wax gives you...the patina of age.

All my signs are available at my shops. 

So,

 leave some love and pass it along.

Go visit someone new .

I met so many new friends

and discovered some cool things along the way.

Do I need to make a button?? 

I am challenged sometimes...

I mean if I could just paint a button

or something.



Thanks for joing in...
