After spending time stripping and sanding to reveal the gorgeous wood grain, it was sad to see it was completely hidden by multiple layers of stain and paint. I liked the way you work well together
Yeah next time skip the wood conditioner and just soak the wood in water. Let it dry and put down an oil based gray for grain. Waterbased gray is basically paint/garbage
Thanks for the tip. We didn't realize the difference between a water and oil based stain. You are correct the Waterbased stuff is basically paint which makes it terrible for projects like this!
Table looks awesome but you guys used the stain to “paint” the table grey lol. Stain is to be applied and then wiped off to reveal the grain but it came out looking good anyways lol 👍🏾
Not too bad for a first time diy! I think it turned out super cute ☺️ I’m sure you know from the rude comments to go with the grain when sanding and such next time. You could achieve the same look for cheaper if you’d like to ever do this style again. Just paint with a matte finish in gray and use a matte white to get that “chalk” look. Then you can seal it with a clear coat of polyurethane or laquer (which also comes in a dull finish instead of glossy). This will protect it from scratching off/staining with drinks etc, that hard work.
I agree with Bridgette, more than anything I just need the visual. I don't have hours to sit watching videos. I don't always need a big long story. If you want to appease the haters, you might be able to edit your description with the Brand and color names if you want. Thank you for the video!
Just a point that you should wear gloves to apply the stain with a brush or rag then leave it for a bit before you rub off with a cheesecloth. Not all one motion that you guys did. But I like the grey stain
That would be a great point but the “stain” wasn’t true stain. It had paint mixed it, which we didn’t know until we started. So this was our only option.
I actually liked how you quickly showed us how to do it vs long drawn out boring videos with way too much talking that takes up too much of my time. I end up turning off the video and finding something easier and faster. All I needed was exactly what you showed!! A list of product would be helpful also. Perfect. Great soothing music!!
Was there ever a part two to this video? After you guys realized you missed a few steps to reveal the wood grain and distress the paint a bit more than finish with clear coat
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the login password. I would love any help you can give me!
@Micah Michael thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Nice work. You look young, energized, and with the passion of exceeding something different. Continue with your good work and don’t stop. You’ll see in the future if you continue here with this type of work you’ll do amazing thing. It could be a line of income for you. I wish you happy new year!
Serious question for everyone, as I am watching this to learn. What is the point in using a chemical stripper if you're sanding it down? Can I just skip that and sand it?
I’m my opinion I think the old finish can junk up the sander. I have seen a lot of people that skip the chemical stripper step and go straight to sanding with a high grit sandpaper.
There was no point. These folks ended up with a painted table . If you want to show the grain , AND you have solid wood, then you sand the old finish off and paint wash or stain, then topcoat to protect. IF YOU have veneer you use stripper to get the old finish off, then sand lightly with 180, stain or paint wash, then topcoat x 2 with a clear protective finish
We used minwax classic grey. You will need to get this very dark on the wood. For the white paint you will just dry brush it on with very light strokes.
@@apieceofpigott No top coat to seal it or make it water proof? How is it holding up to use? I have a similar table I am looking to do gray painted chairs and table bottom and either a gray stain top or a white washed top. Scouring videos now. I've never done a project like this.
Like we have said 100 times now, this was our first time using this “stain.” It was infused with grey paint to stain the wood. After we applied the first coat we realized it wasn’t going to stain so we pivoted to basically painting the table grey.
@@apieceofpigott Yes. Thank you. I can read. They refinished a walnut stained table to look like barnwood. It looks "Rooms To Go" grey painted so we can call it "Barnwood." =Not barnwood at all.
@@apieceofpigott you know whats funny is after this video i had to re finish an aquarium stand for my gf and of course she wanted it in a grey stain... the dyes/pigments are so prominent it covers the grain its like paint.. also it turned more blue. it still looks okay but a lot of them also are faster drying so if you go about a normal staining technique with other colors it over saturates and cures too quick. oh well

That wood was beautiful after she got it all peeled off and sanded down it was gorgeous . But it’s still came out looking great .

With what you did...no need to strip the varnish. Just sand it and paint it grey and white.
Table looks great, for future projects it helps to sand or strip going with the grain.
Thanks for the tip!
I'm not gone lie this is really satisfying
Thanks

Yes, this is the first time we used the stain. Didn’t know what we’re doing.
I like it... 👍 Good job guys.

You need to watch black sheep, she is excellent with how and what to use, and also how to save money on paint.

No we pivoted to change the look. We never refinished it after the video.
Follow the grain when you strip and sand!
First time, still learning!
You only used gray stain and white paint correct? Looks great
Yes!
Nice I liked it
What was the white you guys used
I wish you could do a detailed tutorial on how you did that top.
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account?

This table turned out great! You've got a new subscriber here! Keep up the content 👍
Is een keer white wash houtbeits voldoende? Of na 24 uur nog eens lakken?
We only used 1!

Could you list the products used please? And if you diluted the white paint or just dry brushed?
We used minwax classic grey. You will need to get this very dark on the wood. For the white paint you will just dry brush it on with very light strokes.

We did add a top coat. We used a clear Statin Triple Thick Polyurethane made by Varathane.
Can you just start sanding it without having to scrape off the seal? Because I’m lazy lol
Yes, I believe we could have if we use rough enough sandpaper.
If you were just going. to sand it, why did you put stripper on it? Also you should never scrape across/against the grain. Yikes!
Not sure to be honest. Still learning.
This is pretty funny.... you could have just painted the damn thing gray LMAO.... on a more positive note it looks fantastic!

Great example of "how not to"
Thanks for the feedback. This was the first table we refinished but this isn’t a “how to” video.
Right?? Holy moly.
What was the first product you used to strip the table, please?
It’s just a normal paint stripper from Lowe’s. Don’t remember the exact product name.
Why did you sand before the stripping was done?
Inexperience. We thought we had all of the varnish off the table but sadly we didn’t.
What was the first that you applied and peeled off
It is paint stripper. It removed the old varnish that was on the table.
🙈 this is a little painful to watch, but we all learn by doing things and f*ucking up... Best of luck.
Thanks, I guess haha
what is the Stain you used? can you give me product name and color
MINWAX penetrating stain in classic gray (271). :)
Thought it was going to be a " barnwood " finish. This just looks like a grey table. Not antique or distressed at all.
You are correct. Did you read the title of the video?
@@apieceofpigott Yes. Thank you. I can read. They refinished a walnut stained table to look like barnwood. It looks "Rooms To Go" grey painted so we can call it "Barnwood." =Not barnwood at all.
Seems to me like this is your first time doing this.
Yes it was. Definitely still learning, as you can tell.
Keep practicing
That’s the plan!
No talking no explanations no showing of products??
We are very new to TH-cam and still learning. We plan to do better in the future. Thanks for your feedback.

Hope you like this one better.
Should have wiped the paint off, looks unfinished
Just what I needed! A video with just annoying music and no talking at all!😡😡😡
We will keep that in mind. Thanks for the feedback! Love your videos by the way! 😃
@@apieceofpigott what videos?
@@apieceofpigott what videos are you even talking about?
@@dairyscorpio6494 stfu
Yes, sorry, but ugly and repetitive music 😖
ruined a nice table lol what is the deal with grey stain these days or grey hardwood such a trend
I'm not sure either but after completing the table we have to agree. The natural wood is much better.
@@apieceofpigott you know whats funny is after this video i had to re finish an aquarium stand for my gf and of course she wanted it in a grey stain... the dyes/pigments are so prominent it covers the grain its like paint.. also it turned more blue. it still looks okay but a lot of them also are faster drying so if you go about a normal staining technique with other colors it over saturates and cures too quick. oh well
@@tonypepperoni229 You are exactly right. Other "normal" stains are much better!
