Hi guys, I know it's been a while since I've posted. Here are a few tips on woodgrainig I found on my computer's bookmarks. http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/goldcoastmodela/techtips/Woodgraining_1.html http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/goldcoastmodela/techtips/Woodgraining_3.html http://www.drama.uwaterloo.ca/WOODGRAINING TECHNIQUES 05.htm
Heck of set of links! As is my custom, I looked at your list and noticed something missing. Page 2. It doesn't add much to the techiques except getting some texture into the grain effects. http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/goldcoastmodela/techtips/Woodgraining_2.html Many, many thanks.
Norman, thanks for adding the "Missing Link". I hope someone can use this info. It is hard to find anything on the art of woodgraining. I'd love to start the woodgrain on my wagon but need to fix an issue with the engine, rebuild the front end and add disc brakes first. Not to mention the zillion other home and car projects that are waiting for my attention.
I'll use it on a few projects. The same techniques are useful using colours on cabinets and feature walls. To me these methods are the proven method since at least 1993, to do this kind of effect (FX) on wood, metal or plastic. What I did on my trim was passable, but those techniques ensure a great finish! Thanks again.
Updated links to good to loose. These are the same as my previous post but were moved for some reason. http://goldcoastmodela.com/techtips/Woodgraining_1.html http://goldcoastmodela.com/techtips/Woodgraining_2.html http://goldcoastmodela.com/techtips/Woodgraining_3.html
