It was asked if I could duplicate this wine rack for someone.
They didn't bother looking at the price of it since it was in a very expensive wine/cigar store in the middle of a very expensive casino, but figured if its made of wood, I can make it.
My questions:
I have some soft maple on hand, and its going to be painted, not stained.
Should I use soft maple to make it, or should I use pine since it will be painted.
next question, since Ive never painted anything Ive built, do I prime maple or pine the same way?
I intend to paint most of the black by hand, with a glossy finish paint, and then probably paint the white parts the same way.
All by hand since Im not set up for spraying paints, and I don't want to rip my hair out trying since this is a relatively small project to paint.
does anyone have a suggestion on which type of paint to use on pine or maple(must be glossy finish)?
