Restoring a Timber Veneer Nightstand by Wet Sanding with Miss Mustard Seed's Hemp Oil

18/11/2014

At first glance I thought this little beauty was so scratched and beat up, 
that she was a prime candidate for Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint. 

Well, I was wrong! 
Even though she's only a little veneered darling, 
looking at her lovely legs, Art Deco shape and that scrumptious burled veneer,
I thought perhaps this might be a case of 
Miss Mustard Seed's Hemp Oil to the rescue.

In need of some Miss Mustard Seed's Hemp Oil LOVE!
Up close there were heaps of scratches, pen marks and stains. 
On the front corner,  the veneer had peeled off 
and the varnish had yellowed and become patchy.

Hemp Oil provides an amazing protective finish 
and my favourite technique (as many of you already know!) is  wet-sanding.
Wet-sanding is when you coat the timber in Hemp Oil and 
then gently sand the oil into the grain to lift out scrathes, marks, dents, stains, etc...

This process also polishes the timber to a lovely, protective silky smooth sheen.

During: Sanding the Hemp Oil into the grain

The finish is baby soft, smooth-as-silk, bringing out the grain

and leaving the timber with a mellow, warm sheen
that is waterproof, heatproof and food safe.

Voila...the beautiful finish by wet-sanding with Hemp Oil
Last up, the details...
The drawers were given a coat of Hemp Oil to seal and protect 
the raw timber then lined with a gorgeous 

deco-inspired paper to complement the silhouette using Mod Podge. 
 Miss Mustard Seed's Tough Coat was used as a topcoat to seal and protect the paper.

The finishing touches: lining the drawers & adding knobs
The legs were cleaned up with wet-sanding
and the feet were given a quick coat of bronze metallic paint (coming soon).
Last but not least, our Venetian Glass Knobs were all that was needed

to add the final bling.

And of course, if you just whisper Art Deco...well, I kept it
and it's become part of my bedroom reno.
The lovely end result in its new home
