Painted Reclaimed Cherry Wash Stand with Copper Pan
Reclaimed Wood Furniture by Delnero Custom Furniture
Custom Made Handcrafted Rustic Furniture & Solid Copper Pans
We built this primitive wash stand over 25 years ago. It was one of our first attempts at using a multi painted finish on a rustic built piece.
Through the years we have learned how to make these finishes look authentic. With the uses of various "glazes" and milk paints, we are able to
introduce what appears to be years of aging in the small corners and edges, such as those between the door rails and the panels. If you look
closely at these areas on this stand, you'll notice it is too "clean" looking to seem old. Though we could easily add glazing to this piece,
it serves as a good reminder why we should always strive to produce a better product.
This piece was custom built out of old cherry wood we bought from a neighbor's garage over 25 years ago. Cherry wood becomes rich in color with age, and we chose to preserve some of it by not painting the inside of the stand.
Copper will become dark if it has a chance to age indoors without being polished for many years. We smith our own pans, one at a time, completely by hand, just as we do with our furniture.
A shot of one of our early butterfly hinges. Mike starting learning the blacksmith trade back in the early 1980s. It has been exciting to incorporate the two trades in the building of these rustic lines of hand made pieces.
