... but not too deep because it is not real wood and if you go to deep you will end up with surface which is not really suitable for painting.

Then I painted it gray (used a roller to get a little bit of tecture) and put on my little b/w graphic. First I tried to do it the simple way and use stencil technique but I suck at it, so I had to redo it all with a pencil, ruler and thin paintbrush (took me 12 hours!!!).
* You can see, that it is nor really finished, because there are some details to perfect I can't get tabletop which is the right length, but I hoping to get it soon :)
