Just wondering did you use some Annie Sloan clear wax, or was it some sort of other wax? (athomewiththebarkers.com)
I sanded only slightly as there was a bit of a grain on top, but not too much as I didn't want the lace pattern to blur too much... I used Rust Oleum clear wax for this as I thought it is better to use the same products (I am a little OCD), I am sure other waxes would have been ok. (fromevijawithlove.com)
