I was looking for a cheap way to make plywood look ike wood for a pirate ship Halloween display. This is perfect! Thank you!! Will use in my home as well. The ship will give me good practice!
Nice work! Question: would you leave a wider gap between the boards if you wanted it to look like log cabin wood? I have done this look on Formica that I primed first..that was done a few years ago and still looks good…I also sealed it with a couple coats of poly. So I know its an easy process, just time consuming if your doing a large area. I’m just wondering about the gaps, since when you look at a cabin wall the gaps look to be around an inch. Have you tried a technique like this????
Wow.. That is pretty impressive... I have a couple questions though.. How much would you say the cost would be to do about 500 square feet using this technique? What if you wanted to do really dark brown (closer to black) would you still use a yellow paint as a base coat?
Hi, my vinyl flooring, which is yellowish, already looks like it's wood. Shall I just paint the black/brown paint on as usual then to get the same effect please?
I absolutely love what you have done and I have watched your video probably 50 times and practically transcribed your video! LOL! Maybe you can tell I'm nervous! My plan is to use this technique on my concrete floors. I am wondering if it is still necessary to use the big buffer machine on the concrete floor since I will be painting the floor with a primer first? (I'm really intimidated by the big buffer machine!) I would really appreciate your thoughts about this! :)
Use a good primer. I used wall paints on my concrete floor then two coats of water base sealer. The base colour should be a mustard yellow. Your top colour can be any colour you want. Just try a test somewhere before you start.
Does anyone know what kind of paint is in the new Giani Wood Look kit? I would love to find out and not have to spend $80 on a kit I think it’s some kind of a glaze but I don’t know how they get that look with the mitt that comes in the kit
Looks way more realistic than those wood grain tools! Going to try this on our pillars at the front of our house. I've never liked how flat they feel and I think this would look fantastic! Thanks!!
Recently I've discovered that it's the Canadians with the best ideas & talents! Great effect! I also appreciate that you don't have annoying music in the background. You get to it & explain & show it well. Thank you! I'll try this technique on a wall with lighter brown tones. I'm excited to try it!
I really like your technique. Pushing the old brush and twirling for knots is new for me. I've done a few floors like this but with your technique I think I can do them much faster and even look better. Thank you very much for sharing this.
I just did this on a small piece of the leftover plywood from my camper floor and it looks amazing! Thank you for this tutorial. I've been looking for a cost effective way to do that floor and this is it!
I had nasty carpet and little $- seeing your videos inspired me- I am doing my ENTIRE house with your technique and I LOVE IT! Thank you for sharing your expertise- I am SO happy with the results! I have done large living room/ dining room and by cutting the paint with water as you suggest- 1 gallon of lighter brown and 1 of darker may do about 1400 sq ft. awesome result for minimal cost. A lot of hard work- but worth the savings.
Thank you for this tutorial! I just did a practice one and it came out perfect! I’m excited to do this on my basement floors! Excellent tutorial and technique! Again! Thank you!
Very nice. What kind of paint do you use for the browns? And what color was the light one, light yellow? I want to try that on my stairs. Thank you for the video :)
I did this on my staircase and while it doesn't look perfect, it looks a heckuva lot better than they were before! From poop brown* to "wood" steps and white risers. So. Much. Prettier. *prior homeowner had a penchant for poop brown!
I also was looking at a paper bag technique and I'm SO glad I saw this first! I love that you don't need any special wood graining tools, just paint brushes... FANTASTIC, thank you!
I will definitely be practicing this! Have 4 rooms we didn't complete when putting in our wood, and now, of course, they no longer carry the random sizes we first installed, and it's nearly 3xs the cost.
What the Heck! This is really cool. I love that your just using normal paint. These other videos people have these tiny bottle of some odd fancy paint. I have a graining tool, but your technique looks better.
Thank you so much. This video is the fastest way to do floors I've found anywhere, and with the very best result. I imagine for a weathered look I may be able to use other paint colors such as the very darkest gray, Lighter gray and white. This was very helpful. I'm ready to get to work now that i have a technique that wont take years to finish. Smile! Bless you!
This is so great for those that are on a budget but want this look. Did faux wood beams and was very liberal with the knots and looks terrific. You have helped so many here!! Thank you!
could you make a gray/white floor like this and what would be the base for that? Thanks so much. id like to do my whole top floor of my raised ranch like this ...not sure what id do with the top of stairs and stairs though?
I hope you are still responding to questions to your post. What is the name of your 2 paint choices? I'm going to try to do this paint brush technique to make a beams.
Looks great! I cringed while watching at the mistreatment of the brush at first, going against the direction of the bristles and splaying them, but then I saw how it leaves such interesting strokes like that! Definitely worth sacrificing a brush for creating such a nice faux wood! Well done!
hello I absolutely love this video!!!! I felt like I could do it myself but when I went to your other videos I got discouraged because it looks like your an artist and realized that's why it looked so easy ha ha. Are you selling these if so I would rather purchase them from you.
Please help, I think I’m using the wrong paint because mine is just sitting in the surface of the yellow when I try to brush it it just mixes up with the yellow and turns a greyish brown, what paint do I use please... lord my floor looks horrid 😩🤦🏽♀️ xxx
Your floor is so beautiful! I've wanted to do this for years and your video is my breakthrough! I'm so doing this!!!! THANK YOU!

Show off! That was absolutely amazing, OMG Sweet!!

You make that look way too easy! :) Looks amazing, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing, your floor looks amazing!!!!!
Omg. I am stunned. This looks amazing
Brother very nice technique brother,God bless you thanks for sharing,

I love this! Very informative, i want to add some green do I have to wait for it to dry
Wowww. Brilliant
I loved watching you create your faux wood. Is it possible with different colors?
I'm late but this is AMAZING!!

Beautiful...
Is it acrylic paint.?
Yay!! I've been WAITING for a video from you for, like, ever! Lol. Yay! =)
Bravo!! Floor looks amazing!!!! What is the brand name of the paint that you used?
Beauty tone
Это шикарно!
Are these browns wood stain or paint
Smart!!! Did you do this on a piece of plywood?
The test I did on MDF board.
@@MrMeSoMAD what material did you use for the actual floor? Subfloor plywood?
that is so awesome
very nice
What type of brown paint did you use? You say that you thinned it with water first so presumably it is a water-based paint?
I finally got time to read all the comments and see that the paint is an acrylic emulsion.
Hello what are the mixing materials
Used in the case of teak wood finish to MDF of green in colour
On concrete floors would you use concrete paint or regular wall paint? Any ideas what colors to use to make a lighter look to match pine paneling?
Use a good primer. I used wall paints on my concrete floor then two coats of water base sealer.
The base colour should be a mustard yellow. Your top colour can be any colour you want. Just try a test somewhere before you start.
Does anyone know what kind of paint is in the new Giani Wood Look kit? I would love to find out and not have to spend $80 on a kit I think it’s some kind of a glaze but I don’t know how they get that look with the mitt that comes in the kit
Awesome
"Thumbs UP"

The way that knot flew out of your brush is a super Bob Ross mode!!!!!
Looks way more realistic than those wood grain tools! Going to try this on our pillars at the front of our house. I've never liked how flat they feel and I think this would look fantastic!
Thanks!!
Recently I've discovered that it's the Canadians with the best ideas & talents! Great effect! I also appreciate that you don't have annoying music in the background. You get to it & explain & show it well. Thank you! I'll try this technique on a wall with lighter brown tones. I'm excited to try it!
