How to Make White Doors look like REAL WOOD!

This video explains the process of how I turned white hollow core doors to looking like real wood with grain. Step by step tutorial showing the tools and techniques I used to achieve the look I wanted. Enjoy!

Thanks for the Excellent video. This is the best wood faux technique I found on youtube. I plan to do this to my front door. I hope mine comes out as good as your. 😊

I missed that disclaimer about primed white door. The doors I bought are white but not finished. I bought all the stuff I needed and started the project. Everything was going well until It was time to do the second shade of dark. The door unprimed and porous made the Secord coat hard to put and it left marks and lines of lighter shades. It does not look too bad but it is noticeable. I am not sure if it was because the doors were not primed but that is the only difference. I bought the same stuff you recommended. Same color and even manufacturer.

From what I seen @ the 2:54 mark it said painted or primed. The smoother the better. Where do you think it went wrong for you?

❤ thank you!!! I needed a tutorial for the confidence

Wow great job thanks for sharing

[@martinadirusso9478]

Very impressive!
Do you use the same stain color and it darkens with each coat, or different colors?
Can i do this without taking the door off? I have no place to lay it down.

[@temomoreno2018]

I plan to use your technique on my front door. I need to remove the door and the hardware then after the first step I still need to allow drying time before I do proceed to the second coat. It sounds like the entire process could easily take 2 days. Any ideas on how I can cover up the front door entry while I remove the door for two days to work on it?

Thanks for the video. Question, are the doors painted white or are they primed white? My wife and I are planning on following your steps on a white painted door but want to make sure before we start.

Which color gel stain was that?

[@bektilford8724]

I bought some used kitchen cabinets that are an off white color. I’m tempted to try this on cabinets. Do u think I should strip the paint off them first?

[@stevenmorris2293]

No, you do not need to .

[@coreychristenson6500]

What do u normally charge for that process?

[@geova003]

The stain is not drying after first layer

[@jamieolson287]

Does the door have to be off? Flat?
