Preparation:Apply the Maple Gel Stain with a brush to the entire tower inside and outside including the draw-ers. I used a ¾” Glaze Wash brush doing one side at a time and wiping it down with a soft cloth before it dried. Let dry. Spatter the entire outside of the tower and the front of the drawers with Burnt Umber. Let dry.With Black Green paint the edges of the sides, the top and bottom edge and the divider between the drawers. Transfer the pattern for the oval on the top and base it in with Black Green. Let dry.Transfer the patterns for the fi sh and the two fl ies.
