I've gone through at least a dozen different channels' videos about doing this faux wood technique on doors, cabinets, etc. Most did not invoke confidence nor inspire me, but yours was very well done and now I feel inspired! For me it will be 3 separate small bath vanity cabinets & doors. I'm excited to get started now. I'll start with the insides of the vanity doors, for practice. Thank you!
Thanks for the Excellent video. This is the best wood faux technique I found on youtube. I plan to do this to my front door. I hope mine comes out as good as your. 😊
Very impressive! Do you use the same stain color and it darkens with each coat, or different colors? Can i do this without taking the door off? I have no place to lay it down.
after you apply the "wood grain" coat, do you go over the 2nd coat with the same color stain or it has to be a different color? Like this Varathane color I want to use is Cognac, can i use that all throughout?
I missed that disclaimer about primed white door. The doors I bought are white but not finished. I bought all the stuff I needed and started the project. Everything was going well until It was time to do the second shade of dark. The door unprimed and porous made the Secord coat hard to put and it left marks and lines of lighter shades. It does not look too bad but it is noticeable. I am not sure if it was because the doors were not primed but that is the only difference. I bought the same stuff you recommended. Same color and even manufacturer.
What about builder grade doors with faux wood grain as part of the door and shinny white paint over the primer. I figure a light sanding and then a primer will get the stain to adhere but I don't know if the faux wood grain is a plus or a minus with this method.
I plan to use your technique on my front door. I need to remove the door and the hardware then after the first step I still need to allow drying time before I do proceed to the second coat. It sounds like the entire process could easily take 2 days. Any ideas on how I can cover up the front door entry while I remove the door for two days to work on it?
I bought some used kitchen cabinets that are an off white color. I’m tempted to try this on cabinets. Do u think I should strip the paint off them first?
Thanks for the video. Question, are the doors painted white or are they primed white? My wife and I are planning on following your steps on a white painted door but want to make sure before we start.
Very nice, and that STACKING system, WHOA!!! What a *TIME* saver that allows you! Now... Can you simply list out the COLORS/product used for each step? You may have used the same color on the 2nd coat to achieve a *DARKER* look, but what are the actual colors you used? TIA
@@cussininthekitchen8224 Sure, thx. I'm not a HUGE fan of the graining tool, as that specific grain identifies a a particular wood, when the grain is totally different on other wood types, but yeah...he did an EXCELLENT job, & w/o that STACKING system & the space, the project would take W-A-A-A-A-A-Y too long to accomplish.
@@cussininthekitchen8224 I'm watching some of the video again, & wow...he could ACTUALLY just use the RAG in areas to achieve a grain pattern, w/o using the tool. Either way, this he has produced one of *THEE* best end results from all the videos I've seen!

From what I seen @ the 2:54 mark it said painted or primed. The smoother the better. Where do you think it went wrong for you?

I also have this question!

Wow 😊

No, you do not need to .
You know mans is serious when he welds his own hoist system before starting
Does the door have to be off? Flat?

Did you paint the doors first? I see he wrote the glossier the better but there is a huge difference between paint and primer.

He was using Provençal for the stain color, he showed it at the beginning. Each coat is the same stain.
