@@shepherdboy9692 Pick a color for your base coat that is close to the raw wood color.

Robby Vandermark art is in the eye of the beholder, lots of perspectives.

Arrowhead Art an interesting perspective. I worked for some of the top art directors in the world some Oscar winners and some Emmy winners and they new if something looked like wood or not and wouldn’t hesitate to reject things they liked. I have done this type of work on sound stages and I’ve had to do it on location all over the country and the standard was close all the time

Yup I’ll email ya

I am interested in purchasing as well.

Really? Couldn't you just appreciate?

john brountas I’ve seen better comments here, and lots more👍 than👎. 😊. FIY again, the texture of heart grain embedded in the panels was very challenging with the steel combs. Watch my other video, all smooth surfaces to work with and much easier process. The video is all about a “special wheel” how it’s an easier technique to create faux quarter-sawn oak not the finished doors per say, which I’m happy too say, I use them every day.😀

You're gonna need to paint each plank separately, for grain pattern separation. Using frog tape, once all planks are painted and dried, you need to paint edge shadows in transparent dark charcoal. To simulate the shadow of the thickness of the faux planks. 🧐

Over lap each faux section by 1/16” so it’s dark between each section. May experience bonding issues with it under water though. I’ve used Windsor and Newton Liquin for longer open times and it’s very scratch resistant . Waterproof is most important Best test before you apply it to a boat

marbler101 👍Thanks for the compliment

Rudy Chavira of course, thanks for the purchase!

Thanks Stevey Irwin! Different strokes for different folks.The thumbs down, I think folks that make and market the real deal, prefer real wood and don't like faux oak. I like both either way. Since I've redesigned my "wheel" they are looking even more realistic especially if its on a flat substrate. I did another video on a flat substrate and with the Tiger Swiper.

@@carlaboardman3213 I don't even look at them.

first question, is it an exterior door? reason I ask is i attached some MDF boards to steel garage doors over attached masonite. Perfect smooth canvas but Years later the slightest bit of moisture expanded the composite wood. It had a faux quarter sawn oak Looked great but 5 years later the MDF just wouldn't stop expanding. Steel or fiberglass is best for entry doors as a canvas. My web site shows this door. I just finished doing my new garage doors in faux quarter sawn oak and I made some cold casted bronze hinges and pulls, my own custom vintage design. I know this one will hold up for a very long time. Around 200 sections done in acrylics took me a week to faux them. Ill post a video of those soon. Do it in sections would look best, liken to how it would look if it was made with hard woods, and perhaps give it some interesting sections that only a real handy carpenter would venture to do! Add the shelf before as well to so its all done and matches. Artist oil medium Liquin is my second choice if I want long open time. Its also very, very scratch resistant. I use it as a clear coat over acrylics where my dog likes to paw at my doors. He cannot scratch it anymore!

Hi, Thanks for the reply, An Interior door, so that's OK... Thanks, I see the wisdom now to do it in sections, to heighten the illusion... If in sections, then I don't need to worry so much for the open time... Now I just need to figure out how to emulate and make your tiger effect tool... ;-)

ive fabricated a better one as well if your interested, email me and we can chat about it. info@artfauxdoors.com.

Thanks 1974124sport! Hand made faux tool with silicone rubber. It makes the tiger oak affect pretty easy to do. My faux site shows other wood graining Ive done with other types of hand made faux tools like large rock grainers. Link to email is at the site.

Arrowhead Art hey if you're on Facebook i have a group called woodgrainers. I shared your video there btw. This technique reminds me of lots of the historical graining I've seen where a "stylized" quickly painted qieartersawn was in fashion. I can't help but think they used something similar.

Thanks for the share, I suspect wood grainers of the past pre invent of acrylics, 1934 ish, used a single swipe tool, and used oil based materials to have much longer open time. Some of my first attempts on garage doors was with a single rubber swiper. It was a challenge, thus I started to make tools to make the process much faster and symmetrical. The doors in this video were textured with heart grain. its doable but the perfect substrate is flat. Im doing 2 garage doors soon with faux quarter sawn oak, I may have to flatten out the metal texture with bondo to give it the best possible look. I quit FB a while ago. I'm Lafauxguy on Instagram nowadays with my art in oil paintings, golf putters, and faux wood. Putters and tees, I reinvented adjustability to the max. Arrowhead Putters, a real game changer! The means to adjust the physics and fine tune fittings.

Arrowhead Art I use an old beer and oil method. Real popular here in the stl area. Lots of guys use beer or other water color methods but they mostly only flog/stipple and then do their heart grain on top. The way we do it here is flog then actually mark in the heart grain in the beer and then and oil glaze immediately for color and subtle manipulations. Anyhow...love the tool. Might play around with trying to make something like that.

Beers a good thing to drink! Havent heard of that medium. The typical heart grain tool as apposed to what I make are 9" wide ones with unsymmetrical patterns with casted silicone. Attaches to a quick release half round coupler and handle. I usually to the heart design first, then last coat to stipple the look I use a feather edged silicone tool, hand made of course. Molds and model castings are another art form to get the tools and the project refined

Its made of silicone rubber (hand casted) then notched to start and quit swipes as you rotate and pull. I cast quite a few different kinds of faux tools with silicone as they are not readily available. Plus paint will not bond to them.
