You are one of the best muralists I've ever seen and I have worked as a scenic painter for decades. I've seen some beautiful work and yours is right there on top. You absolutely have a gift. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

@ind20000Yeah you could use those to tint it. Artist oils have a very high pigment ratio so they will probably work great. It will just need more stirring. Just be sure that the glaze is oil based. I would say 30 - 45 min between all the steps. You want the first glaze coat to be still tacky when you do the last glaze coat. That way the last step pulls a little of the first glaze layer off and leaves a more realistic look to the graining. You can observe that slight effect at 4:13 - 4:18.

Meus Parabéns, excelente trabalho!

Absolutely amazing work! Please be careful climbing though, we can't afford to lose such an awesome artist!

@ind20000 I used tubes of tint and shot it in the quart and shook it up. The glaze comes un-tinted. I used Cal-tint and ProLine brand universal tints. And yes the rings are using the same glaze, although I think I did make the color a little grayer later on. It looks good when the graining has a little variance in color.

You make this so easy. Ihaven't seen one video of yours that I haven't enjoyed thoroughly

I am really looking forward to paint my desk this way. Thanks for the clear explanation.

Well done! I'll have to check out all of your vids now, but first I gotta paint this recycled old door! Thanks for the inspiration!

@jimbooie1718 Yes, good point. Some paint companies have either satin or eggshell. I'm used to treating the two as the same sheen although I know that with other brands, satin tends to be the glossier of the two. It really doesn't matter for this purpose. The technique works best with a low sheen, or lustre. Eggshell or Satin. You pick.

Awesome dude! Thank you for the good report. Let me know how it goes.

So cool! Definitely trying this!

Love t!! Muchas gracias. You are very talented. You'll go far kid!

Another amazing video.

Yes but It will eventually wear off. I would use XIM bonding primer first and then put a heavy clear coat on top when it's finished to get some longevity out of it. I would get some second opinions too because I'm not really up to speed on all the available products for floor coatings.

wow. just fabulous.

@municsscareme Sorry for not gettin back to ya. Yes you can. It's best if it's a clear base that you can tint to whatever color, and has a slow dry time.

Very cool Joe, Is there a way to do a curly maple (flames) look on a plain piece of wood?

@ind20000 I used McCloskey on this one but if you found another brand of oil glaze, I'm sure it will work.

I need to try this technique on rough hewn lumber that the previous owner painted beige with latex paint. They are ceiling beams. Any suggestions on how to proceed, especially how to not get messed up by the extremely rough texture?

Have you tried yet? That sounds like an excelent idea.

I always get it at paint stores, like Frazee, Sherwin williams or whatever is local but it seems to be hard to find these days. It seems like it might be better to just order it on the internet. Look for this: McCloskey 1G Translucent Oil Color Glaze Special Effects. It's my favorite so far.

The thumbs down really confuse me on this one. I would love to understand why.

Now that, I don't know. I bet there is something but I just don't know much about it. If you find out I would love to know.

Well, thank you very much.

Hey Mural Joe, do you think that I can use this technique for wood for laminate wood plank flooring?

Hi Joe.. I really enjoy watching your videos. I would like to faux finish my kitchen cabinets to look like maple. What color can I use as base coat and what colors can I use to glaze? You mentioned using an oil glaze but this type of glaze is no longer sold in the stores in Canada - what would be a good substitute? Hope you can help. Thanks!

Could you please explain how you mixed the oil glaze? Also did you paint the rings with the same glaze?

@muraljoe Would you mind telling me what brand of oil glaze you used? I've been looking into the OldMasters brand tinting glaze, it's actually one of the only ones I've found locally. Once again thank you for the help and quick responses.

could this work on an ABS gun stock

What kind of paint do you use?

@muraljoe I have tubes of Winsor & Newton oil paint, could I use them to tint the glaze? Also could you give me an estimate drying time between each step? Thank you so much for the help.

This was insane!

@iamnedd Thank you very much.

Can you please tell us the paint color code of the base yellow that you used?

You're funny AND you did a good job. 😀

Is it possible to do this technique using materials than can be used, on plastic that that will later be submerged in salt water, Would like to do this to my kayak.

excellente!!!

well,from a certain distance the effect is quite nice but on a closer look it becomes clear that the grain is painted.

really now? That's weird

Now what if you wanted to give the whole thing a darker finish when you completed your graining, what can you apply in order to achieve that? Thanks and Great job.

Your comment about Canada is funny but true. What to do? Anyway, I visited Texas recently and went to Home Depot to look for oil glaze. Strangely enough, they don't sell oil based glazes and paints anymore. Where in the US are these products still available? Also, what stain colours should I use to duplicate maple? Thank you for your help.

Nice but what colors to use for black-brown effect? I'm thinking of starting with a dark brown and adding some really dark wood grain to it.

I'm no expert like Mural Joe, but I used a Raw Umber TINT. It the same thing you use in step 2. I used 1/2 cup glaze + tablespoon of water + tablespoon of the Raw Umber tint.

For what it cost to do this to trim, wouldn't it just be cheaper/better to install oak trim? That way, you get the oak look, but none of the pine/fir durability.

We call it "Stumble" it was done in the 30's 40's & 50's on doors arch & skirting.....

Very nice effect. Wish had your talent. One suggestion for future videos - get better, stronger lighting.

Good

You are an Arteeeest!

good .......nice

Haha! That's funny. I know I didn't have it put there. Maybe that's why the thumbs down. But since you saw it, how do you like it?

Мне показалось, или в конце он сказал - Красота!

did you leave the face on there?!

Je dirais que c'est une bonne occasion de pratiquer votre anglais, mais Joe est américain, il pourrait ne pas aider :}

@muraljoe Maybe it's because you didn't nail your brush throwing trick but probably because you didn't show how the grain skull turned out in the end. You now what, a big panel with lot's of "hidden grain images" like skulls and why not the occasional naked lady every now and then would be awesome. Make a vid out of that and you'll get all thumbs up!

Yeah it's cool, you did an awsome job.. but i don't think i'll ever use this technique i'm not what you'd call a handy man :p

you said satin for you base but, your using egg shell

Has a lot of details in this woodwork book “pepe amazing plan” (Google it). The book also shows a couple of designs and also explanations on the materials used for different wood working procedures and also the instructions on finishing different procedures appropriately. General, this book fulfilled my basic wish to learn about wood working.

Why the hell was this in my suggestion box?

Ha ha! No. I wouldn't do that.

Good and very accurate designs are on the Stodoys plans website.
