I applied the antiquing wax with a brush and then removed most of it with a damp cloth. Once the top was dry I used a light coat of the same acrylic satin varnish that I used for the base. I used a spray varnish.
This is the varnish/protective sealer that I used. It is made by Minwax. I lightly sprayed the base and the top with two coats. You can used any varnish that you like but this one dries very quickly.
This is one photo of the completed table.

Final photo of my 1 end table next to my sofa. I love how it goes with my Beachy Coastal decor and I now have more room on top of each table to show some of my beach treasure (more to be added). Now to do the second table. Since I am now a pro, I shouldn’t have any problems and it will move quicker.
Materials I used for this project:
Wood plank pieces (Home Depot)
Screws (Home Depot)
Chalkpaint and varnish (Joanne’s and Lowe’s)
