+Andrew Kavanagh Thank you, Andrew! It is a neat process, just be sure to use loose leaf metal for non flat surfaces and transfer/patent metal for flat surface. It is just easier, don't ask me how I know this. Thank you for watching!
Oh man, that totally brought me back to the good old days watching Wood Works! You did an awesome job on the video, and holy cow those are amazing pieces!! Great explanations on all the steps too. That's going to be such an awesome prize for the giveaway!
Thanks, Zac! If you notice I didn't talk hardly at all about the chemicals I used or the color that each imparts on the different metals. I wanted people to check out David's videos for that. I am excited to see how your Dec giveaway goes.
+Sean Rubino right on. I see this as something i'd want to apply to the interior panels for some cabinet doors...maybe you saw the c. schwarz/david savage tool box build series earlier this summer? they did a sunburst veneer on the lid panel on the inside. the outside is a very plain looking tool chest, but when you open up you are taken aback by this glorious display. I like that dual mode. I found that an inspiration, but i want something more abstract and gooey,like this effect you're describing in the vid. outside it's a "calm" wood, vertical grain fir for instance, but inside this brilliant explosion of color and metal. I hope the art supply store has the materials you use. I'll have to do some digging around.
I did see that in Pop Wood Mag. It would definitely be a cool thing to do to a panel door. An abstract sunburst is easy to do with the cheese cloth as you can lay it in strips and daub on the patina solution.
Thanks, Willem. All the "gold" I used was imitation gold so it would take a patina. The piece at the end that I was spraying had just a little 24K gold leaf.
Awesome video Sean, there's not much information about this type of finish out there. It would be great if you could do more videos about this technique that go into more detail. It's either that or buy the DVD which is unfortunately a hefty 60 dollars. Thank you.
+glockmeister1213 thank you! I want to do a video on this again and maybe add a little more detail into it. If you don't want to buy one of the WoodWorks DVDs you can buy single episodes for $4.99 as a download. I suggest the three panel folding screen. It has a lot of good info in it.
Thanks, Brian! I don't have his DVD as I took his classes at WIA and he covered everything on the DVD, he said he would at the start of the class. I do have the 2 episodes of WoodWorks and they are nearly the same as the classes. The piece on the lathe is Norfolk Island Pine. I was going to turn a vase a few months ago but got really busy.
+Siobhán Dempsey thank you! All the chemicals slip my mind at this time but if you go to spunjinworks.com and search "chemical patina" you will find a list there.
Hi. What are the advantages of using Japan paint for this particular application? A sample size of wall paint is considerably cheaper than the Japan paint. Would wall paint do? Thanks!
+John Galpin Hi, John, I think regular acrylic, oil, based, or enamel paint would be fine for this application. I have used oil paint before and I can't tell any difference. I just used Japan color because that's what David Marks suggested in his class. To keep cost down for a project and to speed it up I think regular pair would work. Thanks for watching. Hope that helps.
Hi Sean, I am so hoping YOU will be the person to tell me how/what to use to create a heated 'pattern' on composition gold leaf...I KNOW it can be done, but cannot figure it out! lol, Please help???
Check the description. There is a link in the description which will take you to the article on my site. All the information you need will be there. Thanks for watching.
Great presentation Sean! Your a natural at demonstration.I'm doing research for a project I'm working on and was pleased to find your video. I have DM's video so have digested that as well. I'm trying to achieve more of a gold/red hue to the inside of a piano display case I'm making to simulate the colors you see in a Steinway piano. You can see the case at kpwoodenstone.com.
Thanks, Kent! You do some great stuff, yourself. The gold and red is a great look. I am planning a media center with doors done in the dutch metal with a red patina and painted background. I like that look as well.
Absolutely beautiful pieces of art! I've never used metal leaf before...but you've inspired me add it to my project list. Thanks for the inspiration.

artfully done Sean - I haven't done metal leafing since back in my sign making days - the chemical patina is awesome!
Thank you; Nick! You should try it out again sometime. You are a creative individual I'm sure what you would do with it would be cool.
Sean, this was one of my favorite episodes. I really want to try this now. Great job!
+Rian Corcoran Thanks, Rian! It's really simple and a neat way to dress up a surface.
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Well explained, Sean! That are great art pieces. I like the texturing!
Thank you, Daniel!
thanks for posting this sean, it's a very clearly explained video. i love the layered effect produced here. I gotta try it out!
You are welcome, Adam. It is a fun process.

Very thorough how-to. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Sean that was tremendous. I don't "share" videos but I have a handful of people that will be getting the link to this. Thanks!
Thank you, Bill!
Great Channel Sean!
+Jon Peters Art & Home Hey, thanks for checking it out, Jon!
Very interesting. Thanks for this. I used fake gold leaf a few times to do just gilding. Its hard. You made some definit art there!
Thanks, Willem. All the "gold" I used was imitation gold so it would take a patina. The piece at the end that I was spraying had just a little 24K gold leaf.
Nice work man. That looks really cool. I haven't done anything like that before.
+Brian McCauley Thanks, Brian!
Awesome work sean. I think David Marks would definitely approve.
+Moy perez woodshop Thanks, Moy. I'll have yours in the mail this week.

+Scott Haun Thanks, Scott. The Silver leaf panel is by far my favorite.

Sean Rubino thank you Sean have a nice day.
Thanks it is very important information
Awesome video. Great looking wall. Do you have the David Marks dvd and episodes of woodworks? What's the piece on the lathe?
Thanks, Brian! I don't have his DVD as I took his classes at WIA and he covered everything on the DVD, he said he would at the start of the class. I do have the 2 episodes of WoodWorks and they are nearly the same as the classes.
The piece on the lathe is Norfolk Island Pine. I was going to turn a vase a few months ago but got really busy.
Question, what is the chimical that you put in the water?
I loved it
Thanks Seán for the well explained video, love the outcome. Could you say what the chemicals you used to achieve the patina were?Thanks
+Siobhán Dempsey thank you! All the chemicals slip my mind at this time but if you go to spunjinworks.com and search "chemical patina" you will find a list there.

Did you figure this out? Also can't find any info on it!
@@ginasodenart No, never did!!! LOL, I've been on this quest for years, still working on it!
This video does not seem to state which chemical is used.
