Milk Paint with Danish Oil Finish for Furniture

The sofa table,    • Sofa Table Design and Construction Details...   , is coming along nicely. Today's topic is Milk Paint, made by The Old Fashion Milk Paint Company. I'm using black, they call it "Pitch Black" I'm applying it with a foam roller, but it can be applied with any method you like. The paint is in powder form and must be mixed with water, giving you the advantage of being able to mix a custom color easily by mixing different pigments. In the end there really is no trick to this paint, I did not distress this piece of furniture, instead I rubbed out the finish a little and applied a Watco Danish Oil finish with a rag. This deepens, evens out and gives the surface a nice sheen. Have you used milk paint? Let me know your method of application and your thoughts on the product. Feel free to send images of what you've worked on, perhaps I'll feature it in a video or on facebook. Thanks for watching and be sure to check out my other videos. The Homestead Craftsman
