Carpenter tells Briefly News how he revamped the old furniture
Owen spoke to Briefly News and shared how he flipped the credenza. This is one of his top projects where he turned an old thing into a new work of beauty.
“This one was relatively easy. It didn’t require a lot of work. I did require a lot of sanding, though, because the top had an indent, and I had to sand it level, but in the end, it took me four days to finish. The credenza had a solid wood frame with particle board in between. I also scuff-sanded the board and sprayed it black; I wanted to leave the solid wood, but it wasn't easy.
"I saw a hack on TikTok where you tape over the wood with regular masking tape, paint some sealer over the tape and spray on black. When you peel the tape off, it leaves a perfect line and works like a charm. Was difficult to get the fitting handles because I bought different handles twice and had to drill new holes. I wanted to preserve natural raw wood as much as possible, so I oiled it with linseed oil. I sold it for R1 500,” he said.
