How AWESOME this is the best process for wood graining I have seen on TH-cam!!! I know because I have been watching nothing but faux graining videos. Prepping for painting my hardwood floors the same way..........just waiting for my supplies to come in!
I'm aiming for a very fine, light white oak grain. The fact you used the same glaze twice looks like it might be the trick for me! Thanks for being so concise.
I have to do this on a large consol radio from the 40s... looks like this is how they did it. Right down to the coffee creamer paint. Thanks for the video.
WOW! GREAT tutorial and I can't wait to try it. I had no idea you could make MDF look so much like real wood and I just bought an old table to refinish thinking it was made of real wood but found out everything but the top was real wood. You saved my project so THANK YOU!
Thank you for this video, I was working on a smaller project as a gift for a friend! The woodgrain with the whisk broom gave a beautiful effect! I'm so happy with it!
Thank you, we have to keep things simple in film and television. Our turn around times can be very tight. Glad you enjoyed it and let me know if you have any questions about the process.
I just used your technique to do my stairs which were a real mess before I did them. But doing stairs where you meet a 'wall' with the grainer rocker is very difficult...and into the corners as well...tough. But I did it and they turned out fantastic!
I would love to know exactly what products you used to accomplished this on your stairs. Would like to try on my stair treads since they turned out not real wood. Been researching a polyurethane that goes over paint and is tintable is not producing the greatest results for me. So I’m still unsure of what to use.
This video rock. Just want to ask what kind of paint did you use? Im planing to paint do it in my desktop table i want it more black any advise what kind of paint should i get?
I always use latex and acrylic. After you find a primer that sticks, just follow the video. I would suggest that you start off much like the video as far as how dark the wood is and then afterwards darken it by adding a toner (acrylic clear with colorant) this way you can creep up on how dark and what direction you like. Don't make your toner too strong, you can always add another. Also remember when using acrylic clears that they have a slight blueish tint when applied that goes away as it drys.
If you were going to do this on something small and cylindrical, what would you do? Trying to make cardboard stakes that look like wood for costume props.
Raeanne Roy I would need more info...but if it were small and round you would almost have to make it without a tool and freehand it. I would do a search on round wooden balls. I'm sure google has some great images
+Vaughan Baker There are several different types of graining tools. Some are flat and can be held so they can be fitted around corners, so they would probably work with what you're doing.
Its awesome .... But can u plzzz tell that what colours u have used ...plzzz tell me which colour u have used first and which is second one ...plzz tell me because i also wnt to make it .... Thankyou ...
I live in a concrete building do you think this would work on concrete walls. They have many layers of paint already . It would be for a bathroom or kitchen. I am guessing for the base paint you could use regular bath and kitchen paint. What would you acrylic urethane with tint or do you think this would work with a 2nd shade of bathroom paint?
Question Vaughan: Any way to get a product list and mixing ratio etc.. for this exact color? (including base color and product info). I pulled up my carpet and currently looking for a cheap solution to these plywood floors. I have searched multiple possibilities but this one looks more real. In your opinion would this technique hold up with a good water based acrylic over it?
It is paint on paint. The first coat is a solid colour and then the parts that you make the woodgrain with are actually a mix of tint which is colourant put in acrylic clear. The kind of clear you’d put on a wood floor. This gives you a translucent Coating for the woodgrain and the toner.
Any advice for large walls? Id like a wood grain on a very big wall. I thought maybe fade out in shorter lengths in a staggered pattern. And maybe use a plank of wood and level to keep it straight.
Wow I really wish you could help this old grandma, know what paints to use, which first, then next, then next and top. Thank you for the info on tools, though I actually had wood boards to paint on. It is difficult for me as I don't have much time to experiment, and need to just do this painting, please help me, trust you. Thank you
Hey I followed your instructions and mixed burnt umber acrylic paint with clear polycrylic and it looks like the correct color in the paint bucket, but when I spread it onto the wood it is kind of translucent and doesn’t make a good looking color. Any suggestions?
Barry Curington In my 25 years of doing faux work on feature film and television I've only had to reproduce it twice. It was on an episode for the tomorrow people. The area we shot in had that finish and I had to duplicate it. I actually used regular filling compound doing a pass that looked like continents, letting that dry and then doing that 3 more times till our surface was fully covered. Light sand and a faux paint job.....long way of saying no..lol. If you have had any experience with mud application I'm sure you could pull it off. Must be a youtube video out there.
Where can you buy that rocker tool? I've been trying to use one of Martha Stewart's rubber/plastic tools.. but can't get any variations like you have.. WHERE CAN YOU BUY that ROCKER TOOL???? please let us know...?!?!?
I want to do this on my bathroom vanity... It's a smooth surface. Great bones and structure. I love the dark brown expresso color wood look. So should I prime the base first in a darker comparable color? Then use the glaze? Do you have a specific name for the glaze that I could buy at the store. So it would be easily found lol... Great job by the way and thanks for any help!
Since your bathroom vanity has a smooth shiny coating from the manufacturer like a polyurethane.I would recommend doing a base primer like a Kilz primer they sell it at Lowe's to take that smoothness out of it so all the paint and the wood graining that you do doesn't come off.The Kilz primer will help the paint bite into the vanity and to help the wood graining really stick to the vanity. Then you can put your base/primer color down and then do your wood graining! If you don't use the Kilz primer you run the risk of all of that paint chipping off quickly because you're starting out with a slippery smooth surface in a high traffic area that gets wiped down with chemicals,wet and bumped a lot! Good luck! 😊
Oh also they also sell glazes at Lowe's and Home Depot! I don't use the glazes! I just use a gel stain! Exact same method used in the video except you don't have to add tint and all that.. it's already in the gel stain and it's cheaper! ..I'm poor but like to do things!😂😂😂

Like It A lot! Looks like high class trailer panel. No fooling. Way nicer than what I grew up with and now I restore old trailers. Thanks.
Best wood grain technique I've seen. That looks real.

Thank you, I really enjoy what I do for a living and love to share the techniques.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 WHAAAA?!!!!!!

This is so amazingly fantastic!

Nicely done, thank you. Looks so natural!
I have to do this on a large consol radio from the 40s... looks like this is how they did it. Right down to the coffee creamer paint. Thanks for the video.
At last..... I searched more than 15 videos and none one suit for me but it will work thanks bro

Did you get an exact lost of all the tools and materials he used. I need a lost and did not see a description lost or product links
Thank you for this video, I was working on a smaller project as a gift for a friend! The woodgrain with the whisk broom gave a beautiful effect! I'm so happy with it!
This looks stunning. Such a great job.
Wow! That is some really nice work!
It makes me really happy that you have that down to a technique
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for this very helpful video. Could you post the brand/specifics of the acrylic urethane you use?
Holy ****, amazing look!
Thanks. Your instructions were the best I have seen. I'm on it! Don't usually comment, but was impressed by your demonstration.
Thank you, we have to keep things simple in film and television. Our turn around times can be very tight. Glad you enjoyed it and let me know if you have any questions about the process.
Amazing work.
I wish all DIY videos were this concise.
Thanks, I really try to keep it simple.

Hey Vaughan! Great video. You guys make it look so easy. I have to give that a try.
It is easy, give it a try. Thanks
This is outstanding, thanks for sharing. Can you share what colour and type of paint you used please? Can you use wood stain?
Great tutorial, thanks. Nice job Colin.
This is awesome. What product did you use to paint on the wood look? Thanks.
I love your tool man! i wish i could have it!
The wood graining tool?!?! They're only like 10.00 at Lowe's and any other hardware store! You can also make them yourself!
Stunning outcome, ty for sharing.
Genius brother thanks for sharing 👍
No problem 👍
I just used your technique to do my stairs which were a real mess before I did them. But doing stairs where you meet a 'wall' with the grainer rocker is very difficult...and into the corners as well...tough. But I did it and they turned out fantastic!
I'm glad it worked out. I will endeavour to make a video dealing with the details of dealing with corners and some other tricks. Glad you enjoyed it.
I would love to know exactly what products you used to accomplished this on your stairs. Would like to try on my stair treads since they turned out not real wood. Been researching a polyurethane that goes over paint and is tintable is not producing the greatest results for me. So I’m still unsure of what to use.
Awesome video
Looks very nice !!!

Hey Vaughan would this technique work on smooth concrete column?
So cool!
That was great😻😻😻
Outstanding! Thanks alot!
Talk about satisfying 😍

What do you mean by glaze? Then you call it toner later? I read use gel wood stain.

u did a good job thanks for the tips.
Its awesome ....
But can u plzzz tell that what colours u have used ...plzzz tell me which colour u have used first and which is second one ...plzz tell me because i also wnt to make it .... Thankyou ...
Thanks for the video
Would this technique work over old wooden varnish doors? About 50 years old.
I live in a concrete building do you think this would work on concrete walls. They have many layers of paint already . It would be for a bathroom or kitchen. I am guessing for the base paint you could use regular bath and kitchen paint. What would you acrylic urethane with tint or do you think this would work with a 2nd shade of bathroom paint?
If you mess up can you just drag it again and it look ok.
Question Vaughan: Any way to get a product list and mixing ratio etc.. for this exact color? (including base color and product info). I pulled up my carpet and currently looking for a cheap solution to these plywood floors. I have searched multiple possibilities but this one looks more real. In your opinion would this technique hold up with a good water based acrylic over it?
can you use poly shades..in this method would it hurt primer?
can you do this with paint and the stain or is it paint on top of paint for the second layer?
It is paint on paint. The first coat is a solid colour and then the parts that you make the woodgrain with are actually a mix of tint which is colourant put in acrylic clear. The kind of clear you’d put on a wood floor. This gives you a translucent Coating for the woodgrain and the toner.
Are you made the tool at 35's by yourseft? This is greatest tool.
What would you suggest to do for already painted over doors and wood trim? I'd love to try this .
Any advice for large walls? Id like a wood grain on a very big wall. I thought maybe fade out in shorter lengths in a staggered pattern. And maybe use a plank of wood and level to keep it straight.
do it is sections. also add flotrol to your paint to extend working time and slow drying
Are you pulling the round tool or pulling it?
Wow I really wish you could help this old grandma, know what paints to use, which first, then next, then next and top. Thank you for the info on tools, though I actually had wood boards to paint on. It is difficult for me as I don't have much time to experiment, and need to just do this painting, please help me, trust you. Thank you
Could this method be used on metal finish with an oil based primer ??? What color is your base color ? Thanks for posting !!
Wow sooo beuatifull
Which paint you have used sir ...?? Is it wood stain?
when you say dry sufficiently...is it dry to the touch or still a little tacky..
Oh my god this was impressive as hell
Wow! I am in awe. Such trickery.... This is sorcery right?
What color was your base coat??i know is yellowish but yeah
That looks amazing! Great job!
Very nice please where can i get this type of tunner
There are some available on amazon.com
Great video, what type of primer you use, is it really necessary to use primer paint
AWESOME video!.... One question. How long did you let it dry before the last coat?
Hey I followed your instructions and mixed burnt umber acrylic paint with clear polycrylic and it looks like the correct color in the paint bucket, but when I spread it onto the wood it is kind of translucent and doesn’t make a good looking color. Any suggestions?
Good job
Thanks!
what brand of paint and toner did you use to attain that color?
Vaughn, have you ever done any venetian plaster work? Wondering how hard it is to do for a first timer?
Barry Curington In my 25 years of doing faux work on feature film and television I've only had to reproduce it twice. It was on an episode for the tomorrow people.

***** Thanks for your time Vaughn - gonna give it a try:)
Where can you buy that rocker tool? I've been trying to use one of Martha Stewart's rubber/plastic tools.. but can't get any variations like you have.. WHERE CAN YOU BUY that ROCKER TOOL???? please let us know...?!?!?
It can be tricky. Here is a link to my site. You can find a link to them there.
creativepaintingtechniques.org/wood-graining/
Agreed. The one I got from Lowes....blows.
What paint did you use or toner?
well done!
could you use polyurathane and stain?
I want to do this on my bathroom vanity... It's a smooth surface. Great bones and structure. I love the dark brown expresso color wood look. So should I prime the base first in a darker comparable color? Then use the glaze? Do you have a specific name for the glaze that I could buy at the store. So it would be easily found lol...

Hi Vaughan, I want to paint my van using this technique. Do you have any advice about how to make this work on metal? Thanks
It would all be about the right primer and using exterior products
you mentioned film and television. Have you used this process for a film?
What name or brand of ypur last paint you apply
Nice work
Can thus be done when the product is verticle. We are making a western set for a musical. So the saloon, and other walls need that look you presented.
Absolutely! Sorry for late response
do u wait it to be dried i mean the layers
