ASCP and CeCe Caldwell Aging Wax

The first wooden box to get some TLC was the one with some inlay decoration. (Projects in Waiting). Below, the finished box.

I started by adding aging wax (CeCe Caldwell) to the inlay with a small bristle artists brush.

Polished then masked the inlay area. I painted the box with ASCP Primer Red. Added masking tape around the lighter base line as well and didn't add paint to the small tab handle. One coat of paint. Dried.

I used a small artists bristle brush to apply CeCe Caldwell Aging Wax to all surfaces. You can see the contrast between waxed and unwaxed below.

I added too much wax and wiped off the excess. Let it dry and then buffed, finished box below.

Box 3 got a much different treatment. DH filled it with some very nice vintage pieces of metal; hooks, washers, rusty good stuff, so I didn't paint it. This box is now in the small workshop.

a peek inside the box ....

Its going to be handy to have somewhere to put bits and pieces of metal for storage and for somewhere to find the various small metal pieces that come in handy on projects.

Now box 2 needs some TLC. Another post.

Thank you for visiting.
