allanyed Posted June 14, 2021 #1 Posted June 14, 2021 I have been following Druxey's build log on the 28 foot American cutter (which a fantastic log with lots of details) and he shows a faux burl finish on what will be the display base board for the model. He recommended a specific book which I will likely get, but I found the following website video that gives step by step instructions on creating a burl finish on a plain piece of wood. Nothing exotic or expensive is needed. https://www.google.com/search?q=How+to+make+Faux+burl+finish+on+plywood&oq=How+to+make+Faux+burl+finish+on+plywood&aqs=edge..69i57.7636j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_LT3HYOiwI_CD_Qbap5HoCg15 Allan druxey, mtaylor, cotrecerf and 5 others 5 3 Quote PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.

druxey Posted June 16, 2021 #2 Posted June 16, 2021 Nice demo of this particular finish technique. As I only had a small area to do, I used artists' oil paint and thinners instead of stains. Otherwise I just used smaller brushes.
