Have you tried the yellow oven cleaner on cherry? It does the very same thing. I have used it on my knife handles.
@MadebyWolfe10 ай бұрын
Oven cleaner is how I first discovered this. Some conversations with some woodworking friends led us to realize that it was the lye that was doing the coloring work and it seemed like there was a lot less chemicals with just lye than with the oven cleaner. But who knows, maybe it is even a better color with the oven cleaner in the end.

Well, I am extra glad that I made it. I hope you can get a chance to give it a try. You can get the milk paint base from the Old Fashioned Milk Paint Company (there is a link to the product in the video description). Thanks for watching and for commenting. Let me know how it goes.

It really is an amazing transformation and the color you get is so rich...and fast. I ran across this by accident by sanding back through some milk paint on a project years ago. Accidents happen...and sometimes that is a good thing. Thanks for watching and commenting. Tell Jenna I said hello.

I did this process on a cherry wood library ladder kit I got from Rockler. It worked beautifully.

Thanks for sharing your experience! It really adds color depth and I am glad to see someone else try it.

In 30 more years how will this look? Does it continue to darken or is it just speeding up the natural aging?

Great video. What kind of topcoat did you use? Would a wipe on poly work?
@MadebyWolfe Жыл бұрын
Wipe on poly should work just find. Make sure the piece is thoroughly dry! A couple days drying is not too much depending on the temperature and humidity.

Does doing a second coat on cherry darken the wood a lot more?
@MadebyWolfe Жыл бұрын
Yes, a little more, although the first coat really does the bulk of it. If you want it darker tinting the top coat can help. Also, different pieces of cherry will darken differently.

Hi, this awesome, did you use the Snow White milk paint shown in the link?
@MadebyWolfe Жыл бұрын
There is an untainted/uncolored milk paint that is available from the company. That is what I use for this process.

Nice! Does it raise the grain? Does it effect glue adhesion in mortises for example? Do you have to sand it before finish? Love the look and anxious to give it a try!
@MadebyWolfe3 жыл бұрын
Just saw this and realized that there was no comment from me. I swear I wrote the comment. I think I forgot to hit reply. Sorry for the delay.. So, you have good insight. yes it will raise the grain. On the Bluestone Bench project I took the time to raise the grain and sand it back before applying the milk paint. (You can see that in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGrSiqmsh8yWi80 ). And you are correct, the paint would affect the gluing. So make sure you clean that up well. I cleaned the mortises up on the bench ends with a toothbrush to make sure I got it all off.

Historically Milk paint was made with hydrated lime (ph 12) not lye. Given the whitish color it had, are you sure this is lye and not hydrated lime? Looks very much like lime to me.
