Use the cloth to wipe down the furniture pieces to remove dust, etc.
Use a 2" flat brush and Everlasting to apply one or two coats to both furniture pieces, painting over the hardware as well as the wood.
Once dry, distress the paint with sandpaper to allow some of the original wood finish to show through in areas where wear would naturally occur. For example: around handles and on edges.
Wipe down the furniture pieces with a soft cloth or use vacuum cleaner to remove all dust.
Using a waxing brush, apply an even coat of Clear Crème Wax over the entire piece, including the hardware. When dry to the touch, buff the wax to a smooth finish.
HELPFUL HINTS
Distressing can also be accomplished with a damp cloth before paint is totally dry/cured.
For smooth brushstrokes, paint in the direction of the wood grain. Also, better quality brushes result in a smoother finish. Use inexpensive chip bristle brushes if obvious brush strokes and texture are desired.
When waxing, light coats will make for an easier buffing process.
