ASSEMBLY

• Glue and nail apron edge.
• Glue and nail side and back basket rests at desired heights.

FINISHING

• Sand entire project with 80 then 120 grit sandpaper.
• Paint the wood project with BeautiTone alkyd primer. This helps stop knots from bleeding through and prevents raising the grain of the wood. Let dry.
• Paint topcoat in desired colour (shown Paradisiac NPC26-0).

STENCIL

• Position stencil in the centre of the top.
• With a pencil, trace the outside line of the stencil. Paint with Rugged Beauty NPC5-3. Let dry.
• Lightly spray the back of the stencil with spray adhesive and place over the painted oval.
• With a stencil brush, dip the end into Snowshoe Hare NPC39-0 and remove most of the paint on a paper towel (dry brush technique).
• Stencil the design holding the brush perpendicular to the surface, moving the brush in a circular motion. Remove stencil.
