Route 211 — Amissville

937-5111

What is most “Distressing” and pleasing at the same time? It’s the technique used to mark up the finish of wood (not the wood itself I to make it look old, used and valuable. It takes courage to smash up a new or used piece of furniture with chains, but it is common practice in the nicest furniture factories. Dirty, rusted and pitted chains will give you the best results for a truly "distressed” effect. After six or seven heavy swings, wipe the piece clean with a wet cloth, steel wool any rough spots, apply stain and dull varnish as a top coat. Use on raw wood or finished pieces and create your own antiques. It works!
