dishwater.

When the washboard had dried, I brushed on a coat of Rust-Oleum Varathane Weathered Wood Accelerator in Gray
The Weathered Wooden Accelerator evened out the wood tone and gave it a grayish tint.  I have made use of this merchandise a good deal, and definitely like it.

If you search at the top board on my washboard, you can see I started off applying Dixie Belle’s Big Mama’s Butta with a rag. The dried out wood liked the wax, and you will enjoy the scent of the wooden soon after software. I made use of Flannel scent.

I then discovered this divided steel container from Interest Lobby in my crafting stash.  This container is on a regular basis priced at $10.99, but of study course I acquired it a 50% off just for a job like this.

I preferred to connect the container to the middle base of the washboard.  Given that I was involved about breaking or cracking the glass with the drill or screws, I enlisted my husband’s enable on the job.
He meticulously hooked up the divided container with two shorter screws.
