Garden Porch Table

After finishing the plant stand, (see here), I had some ASCP left over and decided to save one of my porch tables from donation to the local thift store. I bought this table years ago from Ikea as a side table in a rental apartment. It was never very appealing but did the job in the rental. Because I never really had a use for it in my new home it found a place on the front porch. 

So...with the leftover ASCP (Duck Egg) I went to work.

 To tone down the brightness I did a little sanding....

.... and then hand rubbed Minwax Wood Finish (Gunstock) stain (wiped on wiped off) and finished off with Minwax Finishing Wax

 

So...for an afterthought project, not bad. I must say I am not thrilled with the orangish streaks from the Gunstock colored stain but in the end I think the thrift store will not be getting this table after all....at least not this year. LOL
