Wood graining techniques, mahogany part 3., How to video showing, step by step techniques for heart and ribbon grain. great for moldings, furniture, doors and cabinetry
I've spent HOURS looking at various grains of sapele, mahog, teak... and amazing to watch you make these grains literally come to LIFE before my very eyes.... So cool.
Reminds me of the door my grandfather grained as mahogany for my mum over 60 years ago. He was a master interior decorator and grainer, lovely man. My mum told me when he started the job it looked like the colour of tomatos, I see what she meant. I thought graining was a dead art, so really pleased to watch this. From the UK.
What I truly appreciate most about your approach... is you literally work in an order much like a tree grows man... and how it grows... Rays, ribbons... amazing.. as a man who works with a lot of exotic wood your appreciation is much like mine in that you appreciate very little darn detail in the beauty of the species... BRAVO my friend.. Not sure if you're an artist, craftsman, or what... all I know is your passion and love for how these trees create such a marvelous product is something I've appreciated since birth yet expressed it differently, your expression is simply showing your appreciation of nature in a different way than I.....Sort of make me feel bad that I cut up the carcass, and you re create it... BRAVO
I love this. I'm a residential painter in Wisconsin and I'm the only woodgrainer for doors at my company right now - but I didnt recieve much formal training before the other guy quit at our small company...so I need to teach myself. Usually i just need to replicate poplar wood. I'm not saying this is best practice, but we paint our base coat, then we grain with custom stain on top, followed by a finish coat after the stain dries the following day It's really quick and simple, but nowhere near as beautiful or close to wood as your technique. Maybe because you use multiple glazes, and understand wood better, while I am only using two tones and drawing a grain that looks like wood. It would be neat to see a video of a poplar woodgrain, because it is so common in new construction these days!
Gawd dayum miraculous... this is so freaking awesome, and you're taking the time to share this absolutely masterful technique with others. Thank you so much!
What a great relaxed style in explaining your methods. I use faux finishing to augment my larger work with historical restoration and detail, and even though that type of work doesn’t always require the utmost in detail? Frequently it does, and your style and execution here is impeccable (and shows having many more projects under you belt than myself). Great work!
Really interesting tutorial, I liked how you explain the reason for the different techniques and layers and how they correspond to the features in real wood. It looked like genuine mahogany close up at the end, pretty amazing, you have a great talent.
i know Im randomly asking but does anybody know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my login password. I love any tips you can give me
@Ezra Joel Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thanks for sharing your process in such detail! I’m building some beds and have some very old solid wood door panels with Cuban mahogany veneer for headboards. The figuring on one of the panels is absolutely striking, but the other panel is less intriguing. I’ve been trying to figure out how to simulate the figuring of the first panel onto the second and, while I doubt I’ll achieve your level on this project (or ever, likely😋), I have a better idea of what tools and supplies I need and guidance for how to execute. Also, I can never find my stuff after I clean up either! 🤪
Thanks Ron.. 3 excellent parts to this finished product... I am doing a royal walnut finish to a bass drum shell and all the technique you used should get me a very good final product.. The only difference is the royal walnut color is much darker... my question is : should I start with a darker pigment glaze in order to keep the color darker thru the finished grain step.. I will be giving the finished shell 7 coats of clear poly to finish it... thanks
Looks great. If I was going to do this with exterior oil, would there be any big differences in how I worked the glaze? I’m trying to do it on the cheap with oil based gloss enamel floor paint on my boat’s transom. I’d sand it with 400 grit before applying the glaze. Would that be too grippy? Awesome tutorial. Thanks!
I was wondering if you could give a detailed how to on the glaze tinting aspect . Where to purchase the dry pigments also quantity's used to achieve proper color?
Quick question: what would be a good sealant for this? I'm looking to faux paint the top of my workbench and so it can't be slippery, but given that there's going to be some work done on it I need something to seal this all in. Any recommendations?

That boy good!
looks like a Photo, so amazing !
do you ever use auto type urethanes,, how do you get longer working times?
Beautiful!
Just found this- Thank you!! What colors would you use for a darker red/brown mahogany?
I was wondering if you could give a detailed how to on the glaze tinting aspect . Where to purchase the dry pigments also quantity's used to achieve proper color?
Does the tints get diluted in glaze or go on straight...going to do 2 nightstands and a dresser to look like a bed..???
So this glaze is a different tint then the one in the second video?
Hi, have got any tutorial on how to do a dashboard? I have a 1950 DeSoto I want to do.
Quick question: what would be a good sealant for this? I'm looking to faux paint the top of my workbench and so it can't be slippery, but given that there's going to be some work done on it I need something to seal this all in. Any recommendations?
I would use a couple coats of satin oil polyurethane
