BEFORE!
This plain white second-hand wall unit, has already been started to display color tone against the white of the unit. This was a perfect piece to give a new make-over to! The results are phenominal! Give it a Try!
AFTER!
The Wall Unit looks like a million bucks! Once completed, you may want to add two coats of varnish. The velocity of shine is up to you and your surroundings. Dull or Matt. Semi-Gloss or High Gloss.

Choose Your Paint Colors and Paint Brushes for this Project.
The Bamboo can be painted any color you'd like!
We've presented a palette of more common rustic tones to give you a few color ideas.
We suggest using a Nylon Brush for this project. The hairs are more durable and flexible for toning.
Do this technique on Picture Frames, T.V. Tables, Chairs, Kitchen Tables, Wall Units and anything you like!


Using a Stain and Glaze with a 2" Nylon Brush, apply stain in long diagonal strokes.
Using a hair cutting tool, as seen here, or a fine razored comb from the tools shop, will assist in the patient dabbing of strokes to create this effect.
