Cozy Winter Challenge | Faux Walnut Wood Grain | Glazing

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ก.ค. 2024
- In this week’s video I’m taking part in the Cozy Winter Challenge! Thie challenge is hosted by Karol at Flipping Drawers (link below) and includes about 20 TH-cam channels. For my piece I’m cozying up to wood and attempting a faux walnut wood grain on this small bench from the thrift store.
Welcome to Copper Cactus DIY, my space for all things furniture, flips, and faux finishing! I'm a pro faux finisher and love my job. When I moved to Arizona I wasn't able to continue doing faux in client's homes. That's when I ignited the spark of taking my skills and applying them to furniture pieces big and small.
I'm Jenn and can't wait to share my years of finishing and painting with all of you!
Don't forget to subscribe if you like furniture refinishing, furniture makeovers, and decorative painting. That's what I do here and would love to have you join me on my adventures. Enjoy the snarky commentary.

Can't wait to see all of the challenge pieces! Have a blessed day!
Thanks so much, you too!
Dude you literally just did that faux wood by HAND!!! That's amazing! It looks so good! Great job!
Ahhh! Thank you sooooo much! 🥰 I love doing faux. If I can't be at the beach, painting is a good solid backup. It's like my zen 😌
It’s Beautiful,,,the top can definitely pass as wood,,,what a wonderful job,,,,
That is the best compliment ever, thanks so much! 🥰
It turned out great. Your outtakes are hilarious. Thanks for the inspiration and giggles 😃
Heehee, always happy to share a laugh! Thanks for hanging out and saying that, I appreciate it so much! 🥰
The walnut finish is super good !
Thanks! I've been wanting to try that finish for a while 🥰
Love this tutorial! The top of the table really looks like wood grain.
That's the best compliment ever, thank you so much! 🥰
Thanks for participating ;-) Love the result!
Thanks so much! And thanks for hosting, this was fun! 🥰
Amazing faux wood finish! The whole piece looks great, especially compared to the ‘before’!
Thanks so much! 🥰 Yeah, that before made me question if I should even try to save it. So glad I did though!
I jumped in right at the very end of the premiere so I'll have to go back and watch it from the start when I wake up 😂 the end cracked me up at least haha
Lol, I'm just waking up too so I totally get it! Glad you got a laugh first thing though!
The faux walnut looks perfect, and tge table is lovely! Thank You for sharing your ideas, techniques, and supplies you use.
BTW: good ol' table salt is great at scrubbing all sorts of hard to remove "stuff" off of hands, and it will leave your hands extremely soft.
Lonna thank you so much for saying that! I love doing faux bois and this was my first intricate walnut. Happy to share! If you give it a try let me know, I'd love to see what you do! Great tip on salt, I'll have to moisturizer after that though 🥰
that came out great. loved the bloopers/outtakes at the end.
Thank you so much! Hope you got a laugh.
Great job! This was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for saying that and for watching! 🥰
The faux wood grain is gorgeous! Love the video 😊
Thanks so much, I really appreciate the love 🥰
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this technique
Glad you found the video, Susan. Be sure to tag me if you give this a try, I'd love to see your work!
Belo trabalho de revitalização. Acabamento fantástico....
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🥰🥰
Fantastic job. It looks great!
Ahhh thank you so much! 🥰
great music and bench, thanks
Thank you so much! 🥰
great video, very cozy and love the top, beautiful job
Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun with this one 🥰
Happy Black Friday, Jenn! Your faux wood grain turned out fantastic!!! That looks like it takes a lot of practice and patience to master that technique. Had to laugh at your "Do not wear cable knit sweater ... in November in Phoenix" remark. Dani and I wore Christmas sweaters and snow boots and shot our opening in front of a blazing fire about 2 weeks ago when it was still in the 80's. (Felt like it was the middle of summer again...haha). Aloha, Sherry
Oh my goodness right? I don't understand why Arizona can't get the hint, it's fall! 🤣 Can't wait to see what you ladies did for this challenge too! Thanks so much, Sherry. Doing these kinds of treatments is where I'm happiest! And I have been doing this a long time but had zero experience when I started. It's a fun skill to practice and master! 🥰
Wow that was a total save! Great job!
Thank you so much! 🥰
I love your faux finishes, Jenn. And you are excellent at teaching how to do them. Can’t wait until your channel blows up!
That means so much to hear! Thanks, Taryn 🥰❣ Faux finishing is my total zen. I absolutely just zone out and it's so therapeutic to get creative 😌
Adorable!
Thank you so much!
So cute. Great save
Thank you so much! Sometimes a piece just needs a little extra love to make a comeback 🥰
That is amazing!
Thank you so much Virginia! 🥰
That was fantastic! Love the way the table came out. The wood grain glazing is really cool!😀
Thanks so much! I'm happiest when I'm doing some kind of faux finishing 🥰👩🎨
The walnut finish looks so good on this! That check roller really gave the grain the pop it needs! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for saying that! 🥰 Like I always say, faux is a hot mess right up until the moment it isn't lol. Thanks for watching!
Wow that’s an awesome glaze job you did on the top! Well done 🙂👍🏾
Thank you so much! Walnut was a new one for me but it was fun to mentally take it apart and study the graining. 🥰
@@CopperCactusDIY can’t wait to try glazing on some of our projects! We will refer back up your video for it!🙂
@@diytainment ooh yea! I love to hear that you're trying glaze. It's a lot of patience with drying time but so much fun to work with. If you ever have questions please feel free to reach out 😀
Wow!!!! I would be interested in seeing a full tutorial on glazing. Thank you …new subscriber!!!
Hey that's awesome, Jeanne, happy to have you join the party! I'll for sure keep a glazing tutorial in mind for the future. There are many steps so I'll have to figure out how to make that video worthy 🤔🥰
Looks great
Than you!
Wow Jen this turned out so beautiful. Great job on the top.
I can’t believe it’s the same table. It was so bad to begin with 🤮😂❤️
Ahhh, thanks so much! 🥰 Yeah, this thing never left the garage until that shellac dried. Soooo gross 🤢
Love your work! Completely unrelated, I have the same socks you are wearing in the intro, don't you love them? lol Keep up the videos, I really enjoy them.
Ahhh, too funny! Yes I love those socks they're warm and soooo comfy 🥰 Thanks so much for saying that!!
Jenn, this was so detailed, thank you. I’d love to see a list of products used and I would absolutely love more instructional videos on glazing
Awesome! Thanks so much, Avril! This one was a while ago but I'm sure about a few products. Faux Effects SetCoat in Chamois (base paint and final paint on the legs), Modern Masters Platinum glaze, and I used universal tints from Golden to create each of the shades. Hope that helps!
@@CopperCactusDIY it sure does! I can’t get the mm anywhere even Amazon canceled on me 😫 but I think I have some products that work. I’ll post a pic on ig and let you know how I do
@@avrilcox4442 yes please do! Can't wait to see your final results. Tag me so I don't miss it 😀
Nice technique ❣
Thank you so much! 🥰
The faux walnut is spot on! Never heard of a check roller before, but it was just the thing! Love the entire piece, looks very sturdy and pretty at the same time. Well done!!!
Thank you so much! I usually use the check roller to create denim patterns but crossed my fingers here. So glad it worked, I didn't want to have to draw in all those lines by hand. 😬 Hopefully I have this a whole new life. 🥰
Wow! That faux woodgrain is the bomb! 😱 Gorgeous transformation!!
Ahhh! Thank youuuuu! I love doing wood grain and already have plans to try some other complicated species. 🥰🥰
That was impressive- I’ve never seen faux wood turn out so well! 👏🏻
Oh thank you so much, that means a lot to hear 🥰
That looks fantastic!!! Sub and like. Keepem coming. 💯👍
Thank you so much for saying that! And for joining the party 🥳
Beautiful faux finish😎 where do we find a check roller and other products used? I don't see any info listed on that roller. I'd love to try it with Heirloom Traditionas All in One Paint gel stains to see if it works on those products I have already on hand. Thank you for sharing this whole process. Thanks to our Austrailian friend Sarah at Four Fourth Five Designs for mentioning you I've found inspiration right here in AZ!
Sadly, the one I used in this vid isn't widely available anymore. You can try on ebay. It's a Ralph Lauren check roller. I've had it a long time and love it still! It works best in either of 2 ways - 1. To add a thick bodied medium (glaze, paint, gel stain like I did here) or 2. To remove a thin bodied medium (to leave the pattern from the roller so the base coat shows through. I can't wait to hear if you get one and start experimenting! Have fun! Thank you so much, Suzanne 🥰
Disgusting to start, lovely to end. 😀👍
Ahhh, thank you so much! 🥰
I hope your subscribers go wild after Sarah`s post. Best wishes
This is so sweet of you, and Sarah! Thanks so much Suzanne! 🥰
Do you have a shopping list of the products you used? so to get a faux walnut finish I need 3 glazes right?
I've done anything from a single process up to 5 to get the type of graining I'm looking for. It's all kinda trial and error and I HIGHLY suggest making a sample board first to get the hang of the technique without going right in on a wall or furniture. Get the best glaze you can afford (I'm partial to Faux Effects and Modern Masters but I've used Behr and it's not bad). Also get some universal tints in any shade of the primary colors plus Vandyke Brown and black. Then you can custom mix any color you like. This one was a 3 glaze process but like I said it's mostly giving things a try. Hope you have fun with it, Toni! Thanks for watching!
