Matching a "Wood's End" whitewash finish

Our daughter has a pine bed from the late This End Up's "Woods End" line.

Wood is glued up layers of something in the "Pine" family--probably SYP but possibly some other species.

Finish was called "whitewash." It's a semitranslucent white finish that appears to have a lacquer overcoat. The darker grain is visible through the white layer.

I'd like to match it with some other "child size" furniture I've built for her.

What can I use for the white layer that's compatible with home woodworking? Nothing more agressively exothermic than BLO please.

Thanx

Charles

Try some progressively thinned latex flat wall paint on scrap, and see what you like. Top coat, if desired, with your clear finish of choice.

Quite possibly you are dealing with a semi-transparent stain with a poly topcoat.

Minwax makes very good semi-transparents.
