I would love to see a how to article also, unless as said before "this post was just to drum up some more business".

 

Nice, I too would like to see how it's done

 

thanks for the reply guys i would love to get some work from my post maybe i will do something on my next job dont have to many photos of during the process on this job. thanks for all the good comments its alway good to hear someone like your work.

 

Great work. Unusual pattern makes it very distinct. A well-illustrated How-To with tool and material list from your next job would be appreciated by all here who wish we too had your talent.

 

Doh!

Nice work.

 

X50 on wanting to see how you do it!!!

 

Great Job, How About A How To Thread?

 

Nice stuff, is that morning wood?

 

thanks chieftrain its a little bit of all day wood

 

I stand corrected! Very nice work!

Hydrographics are still cool as frog hair.

 

Nice, I've always liked the grain on a buddy's 39 Standard Tudor.

 

I understand you not wanting to spill the beans on the details of your technique. Would you be willing to tell us the tools you use and material? Lacquers? Enamel? Training tool, brushes only? Airbrush? I was recently told the old-timers used India ink, but yours doesn't look black in the photos. Thanks for the post, awesome job!

 

Graining tool. Stupid automatic spell check!

 

the wood graining on that dash is a master piece.

He ain't gonna tell you guys shit. Well except here's my number, call me and I'll tell you how much.

 

i like the way the old car looks for sure, good stuff!

 

it used to be done with a roller. there are kits avalible.thats the way it this looks with maybe some hand work layered over it. the roller is kind of soft like a printing roller so it can ride contours. paint a base color first, then roll the grain patterns over it. clear coat it.

 

www.Grainittechnologies.com sells the plates, rollers and paint in their kits. You get to choose the types of wood that you wood like to reproduce. Easier than it looks - this is really is an art.

 

Great work !

 

thanks for checking out the post guys . the secrets out i do have some of grain it tech stuff i believe jdee is a member on this site. they have good info on what patterns and colors can original .

 

wow pretty cool!

 

great work , you are a wood graining artist ,

 

There is'nt any woodgraining kits , masks , or computer aided tricks here , just my friend Lyle and I doing the graining on a '51 tin woodie the old fashioned way using time , talent and experience.

 

Wow!!!

 

that is awesome...

 

there is no debate that doing this by hand takes major talent. however, the advantage of the "kits", rollers, platens,etc., have over the hand method is repeatablity,and can also mimic specific species of woods. that's a biggie.if your doing a large area, the repeatabilty can be a give away as the platen is only so big, so your going to see the same grain repeat itself. but on small parts, window trim, dash boards, it can look super good with practice. this is of course my opinion, and as people i know tell me, i do not know what i'm talking about.

 

That is talent right there! Outstanding!
