It looks like marble. It looks so much like marble that you will probably be shocked when you lift it and it seems light as a feather! Can you believe it is really antique wood?

Judith is quite the expert when it comes to faux finishes. She has trained as a faux finisher and worked in many area homes doing custom finishes. She has much to share.

Find a small object, furniture, serving board, or other and hone your skills at this program. Judy has a special tool she will teach you about that makes this easy to do.
