Thank u so much I purchased the tool and was using it wrong, I was all but ready to throw it away and give up but when I found your easy to do instructions I struck gold, turns out I'm really good at it, thank u Ms.Pam!!
Yay!!! I'm so happy to hear that I could help
This video was perfect for the project I am starting! Thank you!
Thank you so much
Thank you Pam! This helped a lot on my first project! That last step with the color wash over the finished wood grain is KEY!! ❤️ I used 2 coats of matte water bases clear coat to protect the paint. You are the best!
Thanks so much for watching. I would love to see a picture of your project
@@PamHaskins Absolutely! Where would you like me to send them to?
We are hosting holidays this year and out dinning room floor is huge and crusty old carpet. I'm pull up carpet and painting them for now but I think I want to try this technique around the perimeter of the room, as a large rug will cover the rest and its all getting tore out in 3 years anyways. Thanks for this video. Washing over it with watered down color makes it look natural and subtle. Beautiful.
I would love to see pics when you finish
We are knee deep in winter here in northern Canada. You must be crafting on a screened porch. Love the background noises.
I love my screened porch, and I'm not a fan of ❄! Thank you so much for watching
This is a beautiful and natural look, the tool is so convenient. You're an amazing teacher. Thank you for the explanation 💛
Thank you so much. You're too kind
Thanks Pam! 😊
Thanks for watching

Pam thank you so much for posting this video. I'm redoing furniture for my daughter she is a student moving out for the first time. I started sanding the top of a dresser to find it was laminate!!! YIKES and the rest is real wood. I've done her side tables white wash. How could I do this finish to look like white wash? What would you use for colors?
Love that look
Thank you so much
Thank you. I bet u have the red devil tools. I have that and yours look identical to mine
Don't you love them?
I can use paint to make grain correct ? Going over laminate countertops so paint base color next day with diff color paint I can make the grain ?
Thank you very much! I’ve been struggling with these training tools! Mine are a lil different not much. But yeah. It’s scary. I’m doing my mantle and it’s a box mantle that covers 1/3 of my fireplace wall from the late 50’s early 60’s. I have my Retique it on there in light wood getting ready to do my liquid white wood. Then blow dry it and gel stain. Do you have any suggestions for my big boxy mantle as far as patterns go? I know I’m going with the “grain of the wood” ie if it’s horizontal cut I’m running them horizontal same for the sides which are vertical. Would appreciate and advice you can give me. You seem to be expert level and a joy to watch! Have fun! It won’t let me post picture of course. But it’s massive and mid century modern. Please help! Your opinion would mean the world.

Hi Pam,
Which type of paint did you use before using the graining tool?
My Birthday is on Halloween too! 😍
Yay! It's a great day for a birthday
What’s the base color that you’re painting the coffee bean over??
Wondering the same thing. What is the base color for this demonstration?
Love your tutorial.
I have light oak that has that golden orange color. I am trying to replicate the top doors so I purchased a gold orange color close to the bottom cabinets any suggestions for the grain color?
Hi Pam! I’m a CA girl and I adore you! My question, I’m staining an IKEA tabletop. I have a base color of yellow (was told to do that). And I’m using a coffee stain on top, that I want to do the graining with. What stain color would you suggest on top of that? Like you showed us on your first example.
Thank you so much!!! Do you want to use actual stain? Or paint to look like stain?
Hi Pam, well I solved the above issue. I used ivory silk spray paint as a base. And then honey wood stain. Did my wood graining. Looks good but Id love to make it a little lighter. More golden. Should I just paint on another lighter wood stain over it? And then a sealer??
How would do a white wood grain looking and particle board with the tool?
I absolutely love this!!! I have a question, I’m doing this with the base color a dark truffle brown with a light grey to be the grain, what color would you suggest to paint over like you did with gravel road?
How about a little white
Thank you for sharing. Great information. I'm currently trying to grain a piece that has a curve. I seem to struggle on curve surfaces. What tool would you recommend for curves in wood graining? Thank you
Have you tried a wood grain roller? I sell one that works great
@@PamHaskins thank you for the quick reply. I have a graining roller and didnt try it. When I originally got it, I didnt have instructions on how to use it. I can always try that. I'm finding my paint dries so fast with the glaze.50/50 Liquitex medium glaze. I have re-base coated my piece 3 times to try to get better graining. I'm using a paint that has a primer built into it. I guess that's all my home depot sells
@@SuperSmoovy I love Home Depot. I like a paint called, "BEYOND PAINT"...
It's also an all-in-one-paint. It does come in sample sizes. Sometimes this paint is hard to find in stock.
Second recommendation is (the one I found on amazon) "Microblend". It is an all in one paint + primer. It is an interior & exterior 100% acrylic. Sample sizes are 4 fl. oz. and runs about 3.99 ea. I bought 7 to try out different graining techniques. I like doing 3 colors to get a more interesting look.
Should you use black paint or stain?
You can use either. It just depends on the look you want
Hi Pam! I’m so glad I found this video. I am going to do a bar height table from an old antique wash table that has fold down sides. I think I’m going to use driftwood as my base and buy a graining tool and pull through gravel road on the top. What color would you suggest to lightly paint over the wood grain once I’ve completed that? Also would gator hide be good since I will be using the table to use for the finish? Thank you and I am a Pam too LOL! I was thinking maybe a like coat of dropcloth after the wood grain what do you think?
That sounds perfect. Gator Hide would give it great protection
The paint you use is water base?
Yes it is
Can I do this over a melamine finish? I have a white melamine kitchen table top I want to work with.
Yes, but you would need to clean it well, apply Dixie Belle Slick Stick, then do this
@@PamHaskins PS, you're stuff is super awesome.... love all the vids I've binged watched this weekend ♥
@@debinatore that means so much to me. Thank you so much
Hello. Can use this one in concrete?
What brand stain are you using?
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. It’s not coming out like wood grain. It’s a bunch of ugly blobs. I have the same set you do
Is it that my painted surface is porous?
What paint are you using
Bed grains
