faux wood graining quarter-sawn oak

- The process of faux wood graining on doors, specifically quarter-sawn oak. My favorite wood to replicate. The canvas per say is usually not wood but when the manufactures gives it a texture like wood, it is problematic to give it the best look. These doors had a deep textured heart grain, so is not possible to hide that texture short of a bondo fill and sanding. My swipe tool does remove it, and the combs dont work as well as flat surfaces will.. The most realistic results will happen with flat surfaces, flat is the best canvas for any faux wood project.
Real Quarter-sawn oak is rather expensive in comparison to most woods.
Quarter sawn oak, red or white has long history being used in antique furniture and doors and I own quite a few vintage oak pieces of furniture to study the real deal.
Visit www.artfauxdoors.com to see more faux wood projects. This wood is unique, with a wide spectrum of tiger affects. Other woods are easier to replicate than this one. Ive made quite the collection of silicone tools.
With all the interest in my "wheel" I've made one that is re designed to contain the swiped material, so it is more effective than the one i used in this video. "Tiger Swiper" is available for sale now. Made to order, Contact me at lafaux@me.com to get more info. Dave

Omg thank you! I just sanded two cabinet doors on a bar that I thought were real tiger oak but it was a faux finish… now I can try to match them!
I just stripped a door that I thought had 3 layers of white paint but underneath all of those I began stripping off the quarter sawn oak pattern to my horror. I had to see how this was done because I’ve never seen such a convincing pattern. Absolutely beautiful work!!
Very nice work. So realistic!
That’s incredible!
Thank you for posting! I bought an old bureau, weighs a ton, 1890s, Empire Revival style. A close look at the finish shows that it is ALL faux wood effect, but it's meant to look like birds' eye maple. There's not a ton of damage except for the top, where it looks like someone sanded off the faux finish. I thought, maybe just some naphtha to clean it up, buff up the hardware (that thin pressed metal Victorian stuff), and some wax on the finish. Now, I think I'll look up how to replicate that look, see what I find. Your doors came out excellent!
Very nice work!!!
Very Impressive!
That's awesome skills you have with that tool, never seen that technique anywhere, great job...👍🏼
marbler101 👍Thanks for the compliment
Brilliant!
Wow, just amazing.
Good Work! all the details
Very nice no b. s. vid. Thanks.
hello. Thank you for such a beautiful video. Tell me, what colors do you use? Is it acrylic or oil?
Pretty cool, have you a vid on using rubber wheels on panels doors in oak?
Oh quit kidding! That's all real tiger oak wood!
How did you do the indented parts that you eventually had taped off? Did you do those first? Any help is appreciated. & I think that some of these comments are ridiculously rude. You showed us what you were doing and gave brief explainations, if they couldn't follow that's not your fault.
Wow very awesome technique. I did Woodworking professionally for over 20 years that really looks great ! Another big hobby of mine is Boating. And although i had restored a Wooden Cabin Cruiser the overall upkeep on a wood boat. Is very expensive and time consuming ive been thinking about faux painting a fiberglass hull and putting some real wood accents on it as well the thing. I’m stuck on. Is how wood i make the faux paint appear to be 3 to 8 inch. Boards Put on the boat horizontally from the bow to the stern ? (Front to back)
You're gonna need to paint each plank separately, for grain pattern separation. Using frog tape, once all planks are painted and dried, you need to paint edge shadows in transparent dark charcoal. To simulate the shadow of the thickness of the faux planks. 🧐
Over lap each faux section by 1/16” so it’s dark between each section. May experience bonding issues with it under water though. I’ve used Windsor and Newton Liquin for longer open times and it’s very scratch resistant . Waterproof is most important Best test before you apply it to a boat
Incredible work. How did you create that tool or where did you buy?
what is the round tool made from ?
work looks great !
Its made of silicone rubber (hand casted) then notched to start and quit swipes as you rotate and pull. I cast quite a few different kinds of faux tools with silicone as they are not readily available. Plus paint will not bond to them.
What are all the colors you're using? Do you have links?
I love that wheel!!!!! Is it something you made? Love it. Need one!!!!
Thanks 1974124sport!
Hand made faux tool with silicone rubber. It makes the tiger oak affect pretty easy to do. My faux site shows other wood graining Ive done with other types of hand made faux tools like large rock grainers. Link to email is at the site.
Arrowhead Art hey if you're on Facebook i have a group called woodgrainers. I shared your video there btw.
This technique reminds me of lots of the historical graining I've seen where a "stylized" quickly painted qieartersawn was in fashion. I can't help but think they used something similar.
Thanks for the share, I suspect wood grainers of the past pre invent of acrylics, 1934 ish, used a single swipe tool, and used oil based materials to have much longer open time. Some of my first attempts on garage doors was with a single rubber swiper. It was a challenge, thus I started to make tools to make the process much faster and symmetrical. The doors in this video were textured with heart grain. its doable but the perfect substrate is flat. Im doing 2 garage doors soon with faux quarter sawn oak, I may have to flatten out the metal texture with bondo to give it the best possible look.
I quit FB a while ago. I'm Lafauxguy on Instagram nowadays with my art in oil paintings, golf putters, and faux wood. Putters and tees, I reinvented adjustability to the max. Arrowhead Putters, a real game changer! The means to adjust the physics and fine tune fittings.
Arrowhead Art I use an old beer and oil method. Real popular here in the stl area. Lots of guys use beer or other water color methods but they mostly only flog/stipple and then do their heart grain on top. The way we do it here is flog then actually mark in the heart grain in the beer and then and oil glaze immediately for color and subtle manipulations. Anyhow...love the tool. Might play around with trying to make something like that.
Beers a good thing to drink! Havent heard of that medium. The typical heart grain tool as apposed to what I make are 9" wide ones with unsymmetrical patterns with casted silicone. Attaches to a quick release half round coupler and handle. I usually to the heart design first, then last coat to stipple the look I use a feather edged silicone tool, hand made of course. Molds and model castings are another art form to get the tools and the project refined
You have some of the best wood gaining I have seen on TH-cam. I hate to say it but most of it is garbage. I worked for 11 years painting movie sets and often spent days grainging whole sets like courtrooms etc. I think your a little extreme in the saw marks. I used a pencil eraser to make those marks. I think the worst thin that ever happened was the invention of that rocker dohiki It makes everyone and instant wood grainier. but wood workers usually choose wood for projects with as little of those type of marks as possible. also good stain jobs do not have big dark spots or grooves. That would make an art director reject your work faster than anything. In the end though its the customer that really matters. I have seen some so called wood grained garage doors that looked terrible but the customer and commenters seemed to like them. Oh well there is no accounting for taste most peoples is in their mouth. Keep up the good work your doors really do look pretty good.
Robby Vandermark art is in the eye of the beholder, lots of perspectives.
Arrowhead Art an interesting perspective. I worked for some of the top art directors in the world some Oscar winners and some Emmy winners and they new if something looked like wood or not and wouldn’t hesitate to reject things they liked. I have done this type of work on sound stages and I’ve had to do it on location all over the country and the standard was close all the time
Just great... I would like to do a whole door, it is now flat MDF, with a window. I also want to add a shelf with dentil of real wood later. But here's my question... If you did a whole flat door, do you think that it would be better to do it in smaller pieces, or all at once. I'm a little concerned about open time, and trying to do a whole slab door all at once, esp, with water products...??? What do you think?
first question, is it an exterior door? reason I ask is i attached some MDF boards to steel garage doors over attached masonite. Perfect smooth canvas but Years later the slightest bit of moisture expanded the composite wood. It had a faux quarter sawn oak Looked great but 5 years later the MDF just wouldn't stop expanding. Steel or fiberglass is best for entry doors as a canvas. My web site shows this door.
I just finished doing my new garage doors in faux quarter sawn oak and I made some cold casted bronze hinges and pulls, my own custom vintage design. I know this one will hold up for a very long time. Around 200 sections done in acrylics took me a week to faux them. Ill post a video of those soon.
Do it in sections would look best, liken to how it would look if it was made with hard woods, and perhaps give it some interesting sections that only a real handy carpenter would venture to do! Add the shelf before as well to so its all done and matches. Artist oil medium Liquin is my second choice if I want long open time. Its also very, very scratch resistant. I use it as a clear coat over acrylics where my dog likes to paw at my doors. He cannot scratch it anymore!
Hi, Thanks for the reply, An Interior door, so that's OK... Thanks, I see the wisdom now to do it in sections, to heighten the illusion... If in sections, then I don't need to worry so much for the open time... Now I just need to figure out how to emulate and make your tiger effect tool... ;-)
ive fabricated a better one as well if your interested, email me and we can chat about it. info@artfauxdoors.com.
Tiger door i think
All these videos on here showing faux techniques are useless. No one bothers to tell what color paint the base coat is or the color of the glaze coat. This is critical to achieve the right look!
@@shepherdboy9692 Pick a color for your base coat that is close to the raw wood color.
Are still selling the swipper tools, ju
Rudy Chavira of course, thanks for the purchase!
WTF dude, that legit looks like quarter-sawn oak, most of the tiger oak staining looks super obvious and fake. I honestly had to wait for you to confirm you cheated when I saw the doors at first! 19 dislikes, how??
Thanks Stevey Irwin! Different strokes for different folks.The thumbs down, I think folks that make and market the real deal, prefer real wood and don't like faux oak. I like both either way.
Since I've redesigned my "wheel" they are looking even more realistic especially if its on a flat substrate. I did another video on a flat substrate and with the Tiger Swiper.
@@carlaboardman3213 I don't even look at them.
Looks good
I've seen better
Really? Couldn't you just appreciate?
john brountas I’ve seen better comments here, and lots more👍 than👎. 😊.
FIY again, the texture of heart grain embedded in the panels was very challenging with the steel combs.
Watch my other video, all smooth surfaces to work with and much easier process.
The video is all about a “special wheel” how it’s an easier technique to create faux quarter-sawn oak not the finished doors per say, which I’m happy too say, I use them every day.😀
big waste of my time you don't tell us any at all why did you bother to do a video I guarantee that almost all of us are not professional refinishers just looking at a way to improve our home we're not going to take any work away from you so what's the big secret why can't you tell us what you're doing?????
