    I have seen this faux wood finish done once before. I was in the U. S. Navy on a ship the Captain's cabin two walls full of built in closets, lockers, and cabinets all of metal. While in the shipyard in 1971 someone came in and painted them all to look like wood. I was impressed, but I never (knowingly) saw anything like it again until watching this video.

Which creates a pocket for my paint brush. I then stuff them in an empty Kleenex box for easy access. I love you channel and have learned a lot thru you! Thank you!
