I didn’t spray it heavily with the paint and it was applied after it was stained dark walnut if I remember correctly…
It was rubbed back with 0000 steel wool and coated with satin spray polyurethane …
Naval Jelly was used for the barrel…
She started out as a blonde….
PC/HC correct for circa 2022…

Minwax makes an Ebony stain that I add a little mahogany stain to it, test on a piece of scrap and stop adding when I'm and my wife (who is the artist) are satisfied with the look.
