After a day of drying, it's still coming off a little on my hands just from moving the chest. So, what would you use to seal? Minwax? I don't want it to be shiny... or laquered looking?

I don't understand the fascination with vinegar and tea, since it totally depends upon the wood. Tannins make the vinegar (or baking soda and water) react, so cedar and pine type woods darken right away. If you paint something with tea, you add tannins to the wood, which then cause it to react. Vinegar is an ebonizing technique, but can be stalled with more water. <br /><br />How 'bout mentioning the type of wood you used, since that makes an absolute, complete difference in the outcome? Some of the shades are lovely.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07807449356256611546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-719542622844307068.post-4885452348259398952013-08-29T16:46:13.144-05:002013-08-29T16:46:13.144-05:00sorry, i see it now, do you just apply to the tea ...sorry, i see it now, do you just apply to the tea with a brush and let it sit til it is dry? or do you put it on a few days before the other stain?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-719542622844307068.post-3297173587033954582013-08-29T16:40:13.703-05:002013-08-29T16:40:13.703-05:00What one did you use for the wine crate table?What one did you use for the wine crate table?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-719542622844307068.post-48422795636794657742013-08-05T10:54:43.274-05:002013-08-05T10:54:43.274-05:00Thanks for the link to the organic wood finishes. ...Thanks for the link to the organic wood finishes.
