No Wax, Clear Wax, and Aging Cream

All three of these chairs are painted in the same color (CeCe Caldwell's) paint.  Left to right:  Aging Cream over clear wax, Clear Wax, no wax.



This next pic shows how Aging Cream (applied after clear wax) really highlights and ages the turned wood, giving it a lovely Old World appearance.

  1. Thank you for these examples. Did you use the light or dark ageing cream?

  2. I used the dark. CeCe's Dark Aging Cream is 'wetter' than her Clear Wax. The formulation is different (not just because it has the dark pigment added). Stir, stir, stir it before your first use because some important elements of the product settle to the bottom of the container. Also, I have good luck with scooping a small amount onto a piece of cardboard to let the cardboard absorb a bit of the oil before I apply it (over the Clear Wax).
