Faux burl finish on base boards- How to make


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Do you have a specific video in mind?

When I cut and paste the site in the post it comes right up on top and then just click on the arrow in the middle.

Hope this helps.
