    I tried your method and was quite pleased with the result. Then cold weather descended on our part of east Tennessee and made spray painting impossible. I decided to try Minwax Wood Finish solid color water based stain (no fumes) in pure black for my undercoat. After applying, I wiped immediately to expose some of the wood grain so it wasn't a deep black but had undertones of darkened wood and after painting and sanding was very pleased. This will be my method going forward since it can be applied indoors. I really enjoy and appreciate your videos. Thank you. Oh, one more thing. I think pocket holes are just fine. I use them frequently and have never had an issue.

      They were supplied by the customer so I’m not sure the exact ones, but Amazon has similar ones here: www.amazon.com/dp/B07CGHX466/ref=as_li_ss_tl?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07CGHX466&pd_rd_w=e3X2R&pf_rd_p=45a72588-80f7-4414-9851-786f6c16d42b&pd_rd_wg=wtwk2&pf_rd_r=FEWZR70RD9HE71N5KM86&pd_rd_r=48654977-f57c-4518-8e63-1517f3167968&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyS1kyRzBBUkpBWFgxJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMDI5MjA2MlkzQ1FTU05NTjlKSiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMzkwMjIyNzNTSlRUSDRXRklRJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==&linkCode=ll1&tag=731woodworks-20&linkId=463757c529af5db71ee7190db2bf48c1&language=en_US affiliate link

    Hey Matt! After you distress the wood, do you still put that same finish over the top of it? It seems you put 2-3 coats on many projects. Wasn’t sure about the distressed ones. Thanks again for all your vids. I guess I found another vid where you don’t say “pokit-ho”!🙃😂

    • @731Woodworks

      lol. I typically use paste wax over the distressed projects

    If you didnt have a paint sprayer could you roll the paint on and have the same results

    Hey Matt! First off I just wanted to say thank you for all your tutorials you do. I started wood working in the last year and have looked at your channel for lots of ideas and advise. I just wanted to ask, I made a couple noodle boards for someone and they asked me to try this style of the "distressed wood". I bought the espresso brown you spoke of and got a white spray paint from the store to put on top of it. When I went to sand down the white paint it seems like the it globs up for lack of a better term and I'm not getting the look I imagined. Was wondering if you have any advise! Thanks in advance.

    • @731Woodworks

      The white spray paint is the issue. You need a good quality water based paint for the top coat. Then use light pressure on your sander.

    Hi. Where do you get the trigger gun for the spray paint cans - do you have a link?

    • @731Woodworks

      Amazon has them I think. I bought mine locally if I remember right, maybe at Walmart?

    Nice video! if you want the natural color to come through, do you follow the same process without the spray paint?
