1. Sand surface with 220 grit paper.
2. Shop vac dust and wipe surface down with rag dampened in mineral spirits.
3. Paint surface with Sherwin Williams Proclassic Dorian Gray. Allow to dry.
4. Sand surface with 220 removing paint on edges and around knots and imperfections.
5. Sand the edges only where paint has already been removed with 120 grit sandpaper. This opens the wood and allows stain to penetrate darker.

7. Lightly sand painted area again to remove some of the stain.
8. Cake on antiquing wax to corners and knots. Spread with brush and wipe off excess with paper towel.
