@@rusticduckfurniture4744 Follow your dream. You have a creative eye, are good with blending colors and have decorative painting skills beyond those who do it for a living.

Being a beginning woodworker, this has been my go-to video on a rustic or weathered look for a few months now. I'm following you on IG. Thanks for taking the time to do this video for us. I look forward to learning more from you! 👍
Have you tried thus and how did it work for you? I'm a beginner and wanting to do this to my new coffee table that I bought for 18 dollars at the thrift store a few days ago...pls let me know 🙏🙏thank you
Rustic Duck Furniture can you please write the materials I don't get the full name of the walnut color please and thank you I'm working on my diy coffe table and this is the color I've been loking for
Hi Amanda! Loved the video and the technique. I watched your video, then did this on a headboard I was working on. My question is what type of wood is that? Mine was pine and the gray stayed fairly blue. I still liked the way it turned out, but in the future I’d like the gray to be less blue. Is it the pine? How can I avoid this in the future? Also, if I wanted a little less “orange” and much more of a true brown in the undertone, do you have a suggestion for an alternative to the dark walnut? Thank you!
i've done lots of barn wood effect pieces and this was a great tutorial.! Have you ever tried a white "wax" as opposed to doing the last dry brush with just straight white paint?
This process is fascinating. I am always curious on how you guys get the stuff to look so real. I actually reclaim/salvage the real stuff everyday. So this is coming from a person who knows Barn Wood pretty intimately. Checkout my most recent Barn Wood video to see what I am talking about ; )
This is beautiful! Like a lot of other comments, I have watched so many videos like this, and yours knocks it out of the park. What kind of wood did you use to make your end table?
thanks for posting. This was about the sixth video I watched, and this was the first to get it right and actually explain the process... and without unnecessary dialogue.
This is beautiful, Amanda. What kind of clear coat would you use when it dries? Also, do you think this would work on the "wood" ceiling fan blades that probably are not real wood? Thanks!
Brilliant! Ive watched at least 10 vids in the last couple days. Ive followed other tutorials but I always run into a detail that was not explained in that video and then ultimately end up not pleased with the results. The timing of using the white wash and the drying effect it has on the wet stain is a great detail to know. This is the simplest and easiest to follow so far. There are so many subtle details that never get explained like the types of brushes or time in between coats...waiting to dry or not. Everything was explained and addressed! The look is perfect! Subscribed!!
I have a solid cherry wood dresser that I want to do this on. After I sand the dresser, do you think it will be a little bit darker than the wood used here?
Nice work. One big tip I can give anyone who is into finishes on wood is on how to get light colored woods like pine and dense grained woods to take on more tint , dye, or color. Light colored woods do not take stain well and the stain is almost always splotchy and not uniform in color. Going over and over the wood with more stain does not work well at all, nor does letting it sit for hours. Multiple stains coatings do not work well at all because stains contain a solvent, either water or oil, this is why the stain is a liquid, the color is suspended in the liquid and once you apply it, the solvent evaporates leaving behind the color. The problem occurs when you add new wet stain on top of the old stain. The solvent in the stain is going to dissolve the stain you have already applied. So all you are doing is erasing what you have already done and doing it again. This is not true with stains that are a combination of stain and top coat, like polyurethane. Those combination stains act more like paint than stain and they will cover and darken but they will also hide your wood and defeat the purpose of staining wood, which is to bring out the wood look. To solve most all of these issues, use ordinary clothing dye like Rit dye to dye the wood first before applying stain. You can get Rit dye at Walmart or Target in powder form or liquid. Rit dye comes in many colors and you can blend the basic colors to create unlimited colors. Mix the rubbing alcohol, which is isopropyl alcohol, with the Rit dye. Use the 90% rubbing alcohol if you can get it. You can also use denatured alcohol or even vodka or Everclear liquor which is ethyl alcohol. I personally haven't tried it but vinegar may work as well, test a similar piece of wood to find out. But remember, vinegar is an acid. Grab a few extra wood paint stirrers from your paint store, they make excellent testing and experiment strips. What you are essentially creating is a giant Sharpie marker in the color of your choice.Use red solos cups for mixing. Make an applicator out of a tshirt or polyester cloth wrapped around a ball of cloth. Get it saturated but not dripping. Sometimes the Rit dye will break down into a different shade than what you started with because of the alcohol. For example, "dark brown" Rit will become purple when diluted with alcohol, just like a marker. Don't worry, the wood stain will make it brown again, very brown. Unlike stain, the more you go over the wood with the Rit dye alcohol mixture, the darker the wood will get, just like using a Sharpie on paper. If certain areas are too dark, use a clean rag with clean alcohol only to lighten up the area. The end grain of the wood will always take on more dye and stain, so too prevent this, wet the end grain with clear alcohol first before using the tinted alcohol and Rit. Despite the illusion that the stain and alcohol dye is soaking deep into the wood, it does not penetrate very deep at all and can almost always be sanded out. Make sure every inch of your wood is sanded to the same smoothness or you will have splotches. Water, alcohol, and even oil based stains will swell up the wood grain and make it raise up diminishing your last sanding. To minimize the wood grain raising, use clean alcohol or water first, then knock the grain back down with sandpaper. If you do this a few times, the wood grain will eventually stop raising up. This will greatly reduce splotchyness and make the shades more even. One other big tip is to apply the stain with sandpaper. Use the wet/dry sand paper and dip it into the stain or dye and rub it into the wood. Use either the same grit paper you last used or use the final grit you want. When the sandpaper is wet, the stain and dye will act as a lubricant and you can actually feel the sandpaper smoothing the wood as you sand while applying the stain or dye. You can feel the sand paper working and you can hear the sound change when the wood is smoothed. If you are using an open pore wood, such as oak, the slurry of fine sanding dust that you will create by sanding in the stain will fill the open pores and will match way better than any wood filler you can use. If you use rubber gloves, you can smear the slurry and work it into the open pores. Just remember, anything you use before the stain is cured, set, or coated will dissolve your filled pores and your layer of stain. Even if you are going to apply a clear protective top coat with a brush or rag or sponge, I highly recommend that you use a spray on clear coat first. Use either the same type as your brush on clear coat or one that is compatible with your clear top coat. Once the thin sprayed on top coat is dry, your staining job will not be dissolved by the solvents in your top coat. Brushing on clear coat can dissolve your stain and open your pores you have filled. a thin, spray on clear coat will protect your color. You can also apply stain to end grain wood extremely gradually with very small amounts with an almost dry brush so it will not get too dark, then spray on a clear coat so the end grain will not soak up any more stain. I learned a lot of this stuff the hard way. I hope it helps someone.
just finished staining pine, little wet sponge before i applied water base stain, 2 light coats. no blotchiness, nice uniform colour, looks great. i find pine is the easiest to work with. other than maple. walnut is a pain in the rear.
Yea and wood condition helps too. Also to get rid of the red look in species like red cedar you can stain with white or fruitwood then stain it with the color you want. Those red tannons can really make a difference in the outcome of the color.
Excellent job. I'm a professional painter and taught to use the best brushes and techniques. Now we are going in another direction that just works perfectly. I'm working on some furniture for a restaurant and the customer wants the same result as yours. Thanks for a great vid and explained very well.
yes I'm with you - I too in a previous life was an interior painter and I agree 100% about using the best brushes (I'm a Wooster silver tip fan myself!) because of how the paint flows evenly through the bristles - but as you rightly say, for these kinds of random effects you don't need that - so the cheaper the rougher the better!!
Wow this looks perfect ! I have been watching video after videos trying to find this exactly look and nobody has came anywhere close but you did 👍🏻👍🏻 your technique and color is exactly what I have been trying to achieve so thank you,thank you, thank you so much. I am actually going to do my king bed TODAY right now heading to Home Depot ❤️
Excellent tutorial, Thank you for your clear instructions. You have a very happy New Subscriber. I’m looking forward to your future projects. Awesome Work.
So inspiring, and you make tossing off this demonstration seem beguilingly effortless. The finished product is gorgeous. My sallow pine 4-poster bed wants a make-over in gray, badly.
This is so gorgeous! I experimented with this and it looks great, but I have two questions: 1) I used water-based white craft paint..should I use oil base?
Great video, TY! I'm using your method for my 60 year old plywood sub floor! First, I used my diamond-bladed angle grinder to score in some wide plank seams. I'm already started, just came back to watch your video again to make sure I didn't forget any of your tricks. Thanks again!
Love it, love it, love it! You are amazing. Your technique is the best I have seen. I have watched it over and over. I had a farm table made about 6 months ago. Since I couldn't really explain the finish color/effect I wanted. I sent the video to the guy. Funny thing, he was sure I'd be sending him a video of yours because he has been following your work for a while he said. But no one had asked for this finish. Well, once he was finished everyone loved it. Including his wife who asked him to redo their table he had just done with the same finish. My table looks amazing, thank you for making this amazing video. I do have one question, can we use maybe chalk paint in similar colors instead of stains?
TY I was going to throw away my coffee table to buy a grey one to suit my new livingroom.Now I do not have to spend 600 $ . I can do it myself and do many other projects.
Look! I don't need to be shown twice, OK. If anything clicks me off a tutorial is being treated like a 3 year old. But thanks, just what I was looking for.
My dad and I are going to stain some wood to make shelves for my room but I couldn't find the exact look I wanted🙃 thankfully I found your video and these are perfect, we're gonna try it out today ☺️
This is beautiful. If I haven’t got the stains can I use ordinary latex paint in those colours to get the same effect.?? I’m finding it hard to get grey stain!
Beautiful! Is it possible to do this in reverse to achieve a similar look? I have a pie today furniture that is already painted white but love this look.
Thank you, this is an excellent tutorial. I was a little surprised by the 60grit paper at the end, I would have expected something higher. The effect is outstanding. I am going to try this on a barn restoration of a new house. Thanks again!
Indeed, as has been indicated many times below, I have to agree. After several, several videos showing how get the white wash effect, this is the very best so far. It come really close to what I am looking for and process is very clear and effective. Thank you kindly.
Love this finish!! I have some 20 year old cherry wood stained bedroom furniture and I am hoping to be able to get this effect once we refinish. Great job. I love it. Thank you for the tutorial!!
@@mchapm15 no it didn’t unfortunately. But I did go with a finish that just uses paint and an antique wash over it and it was amazing. I found the tutorial on another channel. Let me see if I can find it.
Very late comment here - but this vid is by far the best one I’ve seen on YT for the barn wood technique! I could never understand why virtually no one uses the actual colors found in aged wood to reproduce the look of it. Just smearing white paint over an old finish isn’t appealing to me..this - I like! Kudos to you, Rustic Duck!
This looks amazing and thank-you for explaining so clearly. This really is the best video I've seen on this sort of thing. I have a couple of questions - In the UK there only seems to be oil/spirit based wood stains on the market - is the one you are using like this, or is it water based? I would imagine a water-based stain would give you a bit more time to work with. I've always used the 'spirit' based ones - and you have to be quick. They really soak into the wood very quickly. The technique might have to be different with a stain based on a different solvent. Also - the use of sandpaper is mentioned for removing excess paint. I'm assuming you should let it dry first - is this correct? Thanks again - you converted me!
I would really like to know the same thing right now. I’m just about to try to do this and I would like to know if the oil based stain is going to work
Excellent work, and great tutorial. I took the siding from a 50 year old collapsed barn and repurposed them to my home for a rustic farmhouse look, but ran out of usable wood. This is gonna help me complete my project.
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS..! I am surprised 'Latex' being water base would dry over the oil base stain and stick, but guess it did. LOL.. Have you had any problems at all with it peeling ? I'm just asking. I see the vid was made in 16 and just wondering.
my daughter and I just completed our mantle! We are very happy with it. We are going to let it dry before we decide if we want to go over it more with the cream paint. Thank you for your video! Very easy process!!
This is the second of one of your videos I've watched. So far, you are the best at teaching how to get these looks. I used your teaching of the turquoise antiquing effect on an old mirror. It was my first attempt at this type of painting. I loved the outcome. I will use this technique of the barn finished. However, I though the table top was so beautiful before the last and final step I would probably have stopped there. Thank you for sharing your skills1
Just beautiful, Amanda! You're quite an artist. I think I can do this now that I've seen your video, so I'll give it a try on a very large clock I'm building. Thanks!
Hi Amanda, nice to see your finishing work, would be really glad if you could put up the links for the different stains/finishes/clear coat that you have used here pls...,.,....
Best tutorial I have seen , you make it look so easy , I’m going to have to find a project to do this on 😜 as soon as I finish the one in the garage lol
BETTER THAN NICE! !!! I read every comment and don't see anywhere that says you used "Wood Condition" so I'm assuming that you Didn't. Is my assumption correct? I've always had to with the Wood "White Wood/Pine,Spruce,Fur that we get today.

Brilliant Amanda. Thank you for sharing. Loved the finish.
Very realistic result. Thank you.
Love this technique!
dana bagby thank you it's effective hey!!
Rustic Duck Furniture can you please write the materials I don't get the full name of the walnut color please and thank you I'm working on my diy coffe table and this is the color I've been loking for
Dark Walnut :)
Thank you do you think I'll have the same result if is reclaim wood I did my table with left over material
Hi Eva - reclaimed wood typically tends to stain darker so it might be prudent to test the stains on a scrap piece first. !
Thank you. I am going to make barn yard door for my home. Very helpful video.
Looks great! Could a water based stain be used instead of the oil for the first 2 colors?
Thanks :) Yes I don't see why not !!!
Will this technique work on the already painted wood and furniture

Sorry would like to ask if the cloth wet or dry? thanks a lot
Is it possible to do this for kitchen cabinets?
Could this technique be done over a veneer that has been primed?
This is beautiful! Like a lot of other comments, I have watched so many videos like this, and yours knocks it out of the park. What kind of wood did you use to make your end table?
Kayleigh Gould thank you !! These are spruce :)
I bought some new unfinished oak cabinets, would this work on that?
Anyone know if I can do this to a butcher block countertop?
Can you use this on PDF
Undoubtedly the best tutorial for this look for furniture. Thank you so much for sharing your process!
Great tutorial!!!! This is the best weathered gray look I've seen! I'm definitely trying this look on my next project!
Wait... 24hr to let dry before the clear coat.
What about the oil base stain need to be dry to apply the water base paint?
thanks for posting. This was about the sixth video I watched, and this was the first to get it right and actually explain the process... and without unnecessary dialogue.
Armand Cartrell thank you that's so lovely of you to say xx

White paint is similar to home interor paint ? Just add water

Nice technique, I like how you blended the 2 stains together
From a retired painter, great faux finish, nice work
Is there a way to redo already finished wood to look like this? I imagine it takes a lot of sanding?

Audio is horrible echo and can’t understand you
Try lip reading
This is beautiful. If I haven’t got the stains can I use ordinary latex paint in those colours to get the same effect.?? I’m finding it hard to get grey stain!
We’re in the Philippines and it’s hard to find proper colors . Would a black stain be comparable to dark walnut ? Or to dark
Beautiful! Is it possible to do this in reverse to achieve a similar look? I have a pie today furniture that is already painted white but love this look.

Did it work? I just finished stripping mine and it’s pink underneath and orange. I’m trying to figure out how to get it gray.
@@mchapm15 no it didn’t unfortunately. But I did go with a finish that just uses paint and an antique wash over it and it was amazing. I found the tutorial on another channel. Let me see if I can find it.

@@mchapm15 I would use some bleach to try to strip out that orange
Absolutely the beeest!
I have been watching different tutorials for days! Yours looks soooooo professional!
Thank you!
is it acrylic paint? Does you seal the wood before?
Thank you
Like others have commented, this is the first video that hit on exactly what I was looking for, thank you!!
great vid thank you, I watched again and heard "off-white" ...I guess one could change the shade of the white for brighter or darker effects?
If using an oil paint... Couldn't you paint then stain? Is the latex for texture?
Very late comment here - but this vid is by far the best one I’ve seen on YT for the barn wood technique! I could never understand why virtually no one uses the actual colors found in aged wood to reproduce the look of it. Just smearing white paint over an old finish isn’t appealing to me..this - I like! Kudos to you, Rustic Duck!
That's a lovely comment to read thank-you very much x
This looks amazing and thank-you for explaining so clearly. This really is the best video I've seen on this sort of thing. I have a couple of questions - In the UK there only seems to be oil/spirit based wood stains on the market - is the one you are using like this, or is it water based? I would imagine a water-based stain would give you a bit more time to work with. I've always used the 'spirit' based ones - and you have to be quick. They really soak into the wood very quickly. The technique might have to be different with a stain based on a different solvent. Also - the use of sandpaper is mentioned for removing excess paint. I'm assuming you should let it dry first - is this correct? Thanks again - you converted me!
I would really like to know the same thing right now. I’m just about to try to do this and I would like to know if the oil based stain is going to work
Beautiful job! can you please share the names of the paint you used in this project. Thanks
Absolutely beautiful job! Looks great and it's the exact look I want for my coffee table. Thank you!
Have you tried this yet? Pls do let me know as I am wanting to do this and ima beginner..thanks so much.
Excellent work, and great tutorial. I took the siding from a 50 year old collapsed barn and repurposed them to my home for a rustic farmhouse look, but ran out of usable wood. This is gonna help me complete my project.
Super glad to be of some kind of help :)
love this video, up to to the clear coat, I'm going to do this process on my faux ship lap wall!
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS..! I am surprised 'Latex' being water base would dry over the oil base stain and stick, but guess it did. LOL.. Have you had any problems at all with it peeling ? I'm just asking. I see the vid was made in 16 and just wondering.
Thank you for sharing this technique. I painted a shelf and looks fabulous!
Will this work on wood painted white already? It's a satin type paint
I cannot WAIT to try your method! This is seriously video # 10,385 to get this look 😩
Brandi Hernandez awe I'm so glad - I hope it works out for you x
Looks good
Amazing
Love this..Thank you so much for such an excellent video!
my daughter and I just completed our mantle! We are very happy with it. We are going to let it dry before we decide if we want to go over it more with the cream paint. Thank you for your video! Very easy process!!
Lisa Janszen that's so nice to hear THANK YOU for your super kind words and feedback xx
What if the wood already has a coat of stain on it? Should I sand it first?
This is the second of one of your videos I've watched. So far, you are the best at teaching how to get these looks. I used your teaching of the turquoise antiquing effect on an old mirror. It was my first attempt at this type of painting. I loved the outcome. I will use this technique of the barn finished. However, I though the table top was so beautiful before the last and final step I would probably have stopped there. Thank you for sharing your skills1
Yvette Wiley that's super kind of you to say thank you and yes there are a lot of steps along the way where I love the look too 😊
Your work is amazing!!!!! Can't wait to see more stuff from you
I see this are oil paints can I use the same technique for water paint
WOW Amanda. That look awesome. I will certainly have to do this on a few projects. Two Thumbs up
thanks Shayne !!
Can somebody tell me the brand she used for the white paint? Can it be any latex white paint?
Andrea Aviles yes it can be absolutely any white or off white interior paint - even craft paint or chalk paint if you have it :)
@@rusticduckfurniture4744 you mean the little 99 cent bottles at walmart of craft paint?
Just beautiful, Amanda! You're quite an artist. I think I can do this now that I've seen your video, so I'll give it a try on a very large clock I'm building. Thanks!
بالله حد يترجم ويفهمني الله يسعدكم
Hi Amanda, nice to see your finishing work, would be really glad if you could put up the links for the different stains/finishes/clear coat that you have used here pls...,.,....
Looks awesome!
Excellent video. Thank you!
DOESN'T WORK! Water-based paint will not spread on a surface that has been painted with oil-based wood stain. It will bubble up and not stick.
Just used this tutorial on a desk. Came out perfect!
Best tutorial I have seen , you make it look so easy , I’m going to have to find a project to do this on 😜 as soon as I finish the one in the garage lol
BETTER THAN NICE! !!! I read every comment and don't see anywhere that says you used "Wood Condition" so I'm assuming that you Didn't. Is my assumption correct? I've always had to with the Wood "White Wood/Pine,Spruce,Fur that we get today.
