Medium Brown

What was once T&G flooring in a 1830’s farmhouse, has now become a unique record stand. This beautiful piece is made from quartersawn and riftsawn white oak flooring that the T&G were removed to creat custom panels.The panels were then cut to final length and assembled using dowel joinery to create a strong and unique joint. I cannot wait to see when all of the records are in it and the player/ speaker are playing some good tunes!...

"This is such a great, solid wood piece of furniture! The top was sanded and stained with General Finishes Medium Brown Dye Stain and sealed with Arm-R-Seal Semi-Gloss. There are still a few imperfections that were too deep to get out, but overall I'm pleased with the results! The body was painted with Fusion Mineral Paint Coal Black & lightly distressed. The inside has some dark stains, so I added Re·design with Prima Timeworks Decoupage Paper, which gives it the right vintage vibe." -...

"I’m so in love with this timeless Webster Groves staircase! Such a classic beauty. The railings & posts were never clear coated from the previous contractor so they were really dull and faded.
