Paint anything to look like real Wood!
by

Paint and glaze anything to look like rich, expensive wood. Transform any surface to one with a rich, wood grain. All with using layers of glaze! You will want to use this technique again and again. Even on laminate!
This finish is actually a few layers of glaze and some acrylic paint. You can transform any surface to look like wood with a few simple steps.
This is the finish I started with. Nice Pine Table, but owners wanted a rich dark look. The table top was actually fake and not stainable. No problem, follow these steps and you can make anything look like any kind of wood.
This collage shows the steps you need for glazing and using a colorant or acrylic paint. To get the complete list of products and instructions, check out my website.
Can you believe this is the same table? It is very durable and won't chip. Think of how many things you can change now to look like real wood!
Enjoyed the project?
