So awhile ago my good friend myriah found this island in there back ally way it was in rough shape and ready for the trash man to pick it up :) well she knew i was looking for one to redo and so i picked it up :) it sat in our garage for a while till i could start on it :)
*i sanded the top down a lot!
half sanded
*i then wiped off the dirt :) it was gross!!
*then painted it with the amazing annie sloan chalk paint i put a couple coats on :) didnt want to sand the chipping paint down cause i wanted it to add to the texture lol well and im lazy ha
*i then put the same steal wool vinegar treatment i did here on top about 3 coats worth.
* then went to town on it with heavy grit sand paper and some using the electric sander :)
*then i waxed the top to seal it although i think i need to go get pure mineral oil instead and redo to it so we can use it as a actual cutting board :)
it is still bowed a little but i love it anyways :) i also need to get new handles but i just couldn't wait to show it :)
me and my amazing mom carried this heavy thing in side up some stairs and have bruises to show for it :)
