Going Red - Salt & Pepper Shakers

I’ve had these wooden salt and pepper shakers for a good 20 plus years.  They’ve been around longer than Mr. Manly Man and were looking a little sad.  They had a few scratches and were worn so I decided they needed a little facelift of the paint kind.

I started by sanding them down and then gave them two coats of some gorgeous red paint.   I put toothpicks in the holes of the salt shakers to keep the paint from plugging them.  After the paint dried overnight I did a light layer of wax.  I think they look great!
