I’m a hobbyist/ amateur woodworker and I’m blown away by these cerusing videos. I like the idea of taking something outdated and creating something completely new and fashionable. Top notch.
Awesome, thank you! Wes
We were a military family, with lack of money, we improved every house we lived in, DIY and low cost was only way to go!
Fashionable? Who decides what fashionable? Have in your home what YOU decide to have and stay away from everything fashionable as this only shows you don't have your own style. Don't be afraid to have what you like, be strong minded and wait till others start copying you!!!😂
But this video is nice, presented by a kind sounding man.
I just heard in the UK, we have to repaint our kitchens dark green!!!
So, after everyone has had their kitchen repainted grey, now, GREY IS OUT, we were told and only GREEN IS IN, we were told.
I don't badge, keep my kitchen unpainted and I wait till everyone strips through all these colours, see the grey and green, to get their unpainted look!!
And I'd be laughing and laughing when someone says : " so you had your kitchen stripped already?"

This had me thinking about the soothing voice of Bob Ross. I learned a lot and it was just great listening to you. Thanks!
And twenty years later people will be looking for ways to get the paint off and get back to the traditional Golden Oak look again! :)
But for now most people don’t like that color wood, it’s very cabinish And clashes with a lot of colors
@@coastaldiva Not to all of us woodworkers! The other color is icky to any woodworker. We prefer the natural color of the wood.
20 years is a long time. Maybe they will n when they do they will take it off or buy new ones
20 years itll be time to redo them anyways❤
@@floridagirl9064 oak will outlast the house with a little maintenance
Oh wow…this finish is beautiful! So many people will rip out an entire kitchen of oak cabinets and could get another 10+ years out of good solid cabinets with an updated look!! Perfect…thank you!!🥰
Or believe it or not you can just use Sheet Rock Mud, float them out like doing a patch on a sheet rock wall, sand them down and you have perfect cabinets to paint.
I can’t imagine painting over that beautiful oak!
My daughter just primed and painted her kitchen cabinets from that honey oak to icy white and they're beautiful. It took her a week to do it herself, but the end results are gorgeous
That is awesome!
Thank you for this. I was wondering about how long it would take.
What colour paint did she use
pictures...... would to see the results
What is icy white? Does it have a blue tint?
I like my golden coloured oak, thank you. The white, not nearly as much. But, I still have my mother's oak dining set, that was blonde oak, before my day. No doubt it would have been very pretty with the original shade.
i love your relaxed, calm way you go about your project. and how very encouraging you are! THANK YOU for the inspiration and the information too.
You are so welcome! Thank you very much for visiting our channel. Wes
I am definitely NOT a DIYer, but I respect those of you who are because this is way too much work (for me). Hats off to you who are willing to do it.
Thank you for the running commentary, explaining the decision making process and reasons behind it. Wes you are the best. Love watching your videos and learning.
Beautiful. All kinds of character possible with combinations of base coat, glaze and finish. Painting wood is not, in my opinion, a sin or a crime. We should feel liberated in choosing the surface that suits and pleases us. It’s a personal experience. If someone doesn’t agree, they’re free to choose with their own pieces. Different strokes, folks. ✌️
Well said...thanks for your comment. Wes
Agree with you 100 %. You do you in 2022 !
That looks great!!
This is as soothing as watching bob ross
These are my exact cupboards I have been wanting to redo! Thank you so much., Wes. I am so happy I came across your channel. Your tutorials are gold. I now, finally, have the confidence to tackle this project! 🤩
You are so welcome! Glad the video has inspired, good luck with your project. Wes
That is EXACTLY the same cabinet I have in my kitchen! 20 year old home! This is great information....can't wait to get started! Thank you!
Glad you found this useful...good luck !! Wes
MY GOODNESS THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL TOO !!! thanks for showing how to do the side cabinets for a kitchen !! I appreciate the tutorial!!
You are so welcome!
Wes reminds me of my grandpa, whom I miss dearly. Thank you for the lesson Wes! I’ll be following all your lessons from here on.
Hi...that is very kind and something I always love to hear. Glad you joined our community. Wes
I just can't get enough of these videos of cerusing. Such a unique look & so many options for colors. thanks Wes!
You are certainly welcome...glad you are enjoying them. Wes
Thank you for sharing your expertise! This is gorgeous!!!
You are so welcome...thank you for visiting. Wes
Thank you for your very simple and thorough explanation. I found this to be the most straightforward video I've found so far!
I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you very much for visiting the channel. Wes
Thanks Wes for doing this. Watched the whole thing and I appreciate you explaining the steps involved. Good day
Thank you for visiting the channel. Glad you enjoyed it. Wes
Thank you from Texas for giving me the courage to tackle my bathroom oak cabinets. I'll start soon and so excited!
Great...good luck with your vanity. I am sure it will be very nice. Wes
You’re so awesome to do these videos! Looks fantastic! I can’t wait to do this! Waiting for the humidity to go way down! Will have to be a winter project! 😀 thanks Wes! You’re the best! I could listen to your voice all day!
Thanks Jessica...it would be a fun fall project. Good luck. Wes
I enjoyed your video, you explain things very well...like a patient teacher. Your voice is also easy to listen to. I don't have the strength or physical ability to do this, yet I watched your whole video. Thanks for sharing your skills
Looks amazing! Love this technique, thanks for sharing ❤
Anything considered outdated is that in only certain people’s minds. I love oak and would give my eye teeth to have real oak cabinets instead of the homemade plywood cabinets put in this farmhouse in 1965. But at least they are newer than the cabinets in my laundry room that were built in 1932. Remember to be grateful for what you have. If you can change it, fine. Just don’t talk down other’s choices. They may not be able to afford to change things or they really like it the way it is.
This was a fantastic tutorial!! Thank you this is exactly what I wanted to do to my kitchen
So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks, Wes
Beautiful - Excellent demonstration ‼️
An absolute pleasure watching you work please keep these video coming 🙏 thank you
Thank you! Will do!
Wes, this is beautiful. First time I’ve seen this done. I’m impressed.
I wonder how this would look on a dresser? I was planning on doing a distressed finished on an old dresser, but I think I’m going to do this instead.
Great video! Thank you!
Hi Loretta...sounds like a great project. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching. Wes
Did you complete this project ? I'm about to do the same thing
So glad I made the decision to keep our oak cabinets and just update them. Come on spring, I'm ready to get started on this project!
Good for you!! Thanks for watching, Wes
Lovely but an insane amount of work!
Great job!!!❤❤❤
This is absolutely stunning.
I’m grateful for this upload, literally will save me thousands.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your comment...glad you enjoyed the video. Wes
Wow! Really inspirational. I have an old pine dresser inherited from my mum and haven’t known what to do with it as I do want to get rid of it. Your video has given me a wonderful project to work on whilst keeping my mum close by. Thank you ☺️.
Very nice thought...you might want to check out our video as we test 11 different kinds of wood for this process, including pine. Thank you.

THIS IS PERFECT! I have been stressing over how to get this finish for my new home and this was the perfect set of instructions to help me get 'er done the 'hand-made' way! THANKS SO MUCH!!!
You are very welcome...glad I could be of help. Thanks. Wes
@@WoodworkingWithWes what kind of wire brushes dod you use?
That's beautiful. I've had golden oak for years and years. Loved it then, but I'm so sick of it now. This color would look wonderful with darker hardwood floors. Great job.
Thank you very much! Wes
That came out incredible!!
Great job! It came out beautifully.
This turned out great! Thanks so much for this video. I’m so looking forward to doing this on our Oak cabinets.
You are so welcome...glad it was helpful and you enjoyed it. Good luck with your project. Wes
Phenomenal job Wes. Will definitely consider this for my kitchen.
Thanks for sharing! This video was easy to watch and follow along. I'm working up the courage to paint the bathroom vanity.
Glad you enjoyed it...test the backside of a drawer to see if you like the results. Thanks for watching. Wes
Just gorgeous, beautiful job. I’m inspired to try this! Love your videos 💕💕👏👏
Thank you very much for your kind comment. Wes
Perfect timing! I have the golden oak cabinets but in the shaker style that I plan on painting in the next few weeks. Had planned on just white but I may have to try this instead! (But with a gray glaze) Also my oldest son’s name is Wes. Great video, thank you!
Yes!! Please share your photos with me. I’m also wanting to see how your colors come out.
Thank you Christy...good luck with your project, I am sure it will be great! Wes
@Christy Michelle ...how did they come out with gray glaze? Would love to see!
Yes my mother painted her beautiful mahogany bed white and gold in the 70s and I had pay to remove the paint and bring back the beautiful mahogany wood underneath
Great job, Wes! I've refinished many oak pieces but haven't done cabinets yet. I have found that using old t-shirts or some other soft lint free cotton cloth for wiping off (and on) your stain works so much better than using paper towels. Lot less waste & better saturation imo. All that said you did a fantastic job in updating these cabinets.
Wow, great results! Thanks for the info!
Thank you 😃
B E A U T I F U L! 😍😍…who knew you could get rid of that date honey oak 😝 so easily! 🤣😂 Thank you soo much for this!
I’m going to do this on my hubby’s oak furniture he won’t let me get rid of from his bachelor days. I call that special shade of oak “old school lover boy oak”. 😆😁😂
Sounds like a perfect solution. Go for it! Thanks, Wes
Wow! You are my friend already, Never thought of using wire brush... really enjoyed watching and listening to all your process without speeding up...what I s vinyl primer? I've painting cabinets for long time..wish i would had seen this before
love it, teaching my sons the trade also, yours very truly: APro Painting / Staining & Services from northern Alberta Canada
That's awesome...thanks for sharing. Wes
Turned out really sharp, nice job.
Natural wood grain properly treated always looks better than cheap painted wood
So the grain shows through the primer.
OMG I totally LOVE THIS - Was going to do months ago and put on hold and just watched again and gotta do it. I would like to know what color did you tint your primer to please? There are so many different "whites" - Thank you so much
Yes, there are many colors of white. As I remember, I had it mixed to a light cream color with no specific color match or number. Thanks for watching. Wes
Thank you for this great demonstration !! 👍
Beautiful results.
Wes, I love this cerusing technique for redoing the kitchen cabinets or other cabinets in the house. I have the same in my house although my cabinets are made from ash wood. I'm seriously thinking of doing this to my kitchen cabinets. I do have one question though & it may be a stupid question. After you've changed the color of the outside, what do you do with the color of the inside of the cabinet which is the golden oak? Do you paint it the color of the primer you put on it or what? It's impossible to ceruse the inside of the cabinets. Actually in the lower cabinets it will be impossible to even paint those areas that go back into the counter that you can never reach. I love your videos! Thank you so much for putting this detailed information out there & also responding to people's questions!
Alyson...just paint the base primer coat on the inside without glaze. Thanks for watching....good luck with your project. Wes
I love this, would like to paint kitchen cabinets white for that "farmhouse look" but counters have a lot of brown and green and floors are an orangey hardwood. Would it go? Or would you have another video on staining hardwood floors also? Thanks. 🤷
Thank you very much, for this tutorial, I am amazed how you have done this, it looks lovely, you are a very good teacher.
Thanks so much 😊
I think it's beautiful. Great job.
This was by far the best outcome to my project. Although I'm very crafty and love DIY I will admit I was extremely anxious about doing this project cause welp if it dint go well I'd be stuck with unwanted painted cabnets. I was so happy with the look and wanted to thank your for this step by step video:)
That is great !! So happy you had good results...nice job! Wes
I love how it came out. Looks so contemporary!
Thank you for watching the video Nancy...glad you enjoyed watching the process. Wes
It really does. I have shaker style cabinets in my 1924 craftsman home, and am doing some updates, but don't want to lose the 1924 character... want it all to look like you just stepped back in time to 1924. I have a lot of red oak Mission style furniture in it right now... was thinking perhaps a red oak glaze ???
This primer is great for raw wood (I used it on pine trim) but it doesn’t cover knots and doesn’t block stains. It builds up nicely and allows for sanding for a smooth finish. On cabinets with polyurethane finish I would use the SW extreme bond primer instead.
How do you know if you have a polyurethane finish??
@@mangos2888 anytime you have a clear finish over stain, it's highly likely to be lacquer or polyurethane and you'll need to use one of three primers, lacquer undercoater, oil base primer or now they have a water base (extreme bond primer) 😉
@@mangos2888if it's not painted then it has a clear finish on it. That is, if it's a finished product inside your home. I only day that because you can stain wood without putting a finish on top of it in the case it's something like a project that hasn't been completed. In any case it's always best to lightly sand and primer to remove any grease/oils do paint will stick better.
Beautiful! I would LOVE to do that to my oak cabinets.
Thank you very much for your comment. Wes
Mr. Wes...thank you for this lovely project! It's fabulous..going to resee n take notes!! 😊 thanks
Absolutely gorgeous. What kind of total time was involved in doing the set of cabinets?
Hi Doug...total time start to finish, not including drying time, was about 2 hours. Thanks for watching. Wes
@@WoodworkingWithWes that’s great in my mind it was so much longer.
Thank you for this! That's the style of cabinet doors that are in my kitchen and I really appreciate you showing the process on the door with that arch adding a bit more complication. I love this finish! My brain is buzzing with all the color combination possibilities!
Edit: scoop edge, cathedral arch. Got it. Good to know for reference. Thanks!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. Wes
Would this work with a blue or green stain. Thank you for this. Great lesson. Do you have more.
@@joannefreeman3573 I was wondering the same thing
Same here, I like be my Oak cabinets, they were very expensive & I’m not changing them at all.
@@joannefreeman3573 Yes it would...check out our other videos on cerusing. Thanks for watching. Wes
This turned out beautiful!
Thank you. :))
That is fabulous work. I would love that in my kitchen.
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi Wes! Your channel was recommended and I sure am glad 😃 You explain your steps very well and I enjoyed watching this process…and boy what a GREAT finished project! The cabinet finish is gorgeous👍🏻I’m inspired👩🏻🎨 New central NC Subscriber 🇺🇸
Awesome, thank you! Wes
Great video Wes. Have vanity in the garage and 80% done with the prep. Picked up the needed tips for two coats of primer and sand afterwards. Will have it done this weekend and ready to reinstall. Will tackle kitchen and laundry room after wildfire season in the PNW. This will save me $20K for kitchen remodel.
Good stuff! That is awesome!! Send me a picture when you are done. Thanks for sharing. Wes
Dear sir Thank you for an awesome class I have felt you as a father and a teacher when you give us all the details information. Simply you are a great teacher and I thank you so so very much 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🥰🥰
That is so very kind of you! Thank you very much for being part of the community. We have lots more coming. Wes
Beautiful finish!
Holy moly! As great as this looks it would take me a good 6 months (or more!) to do all my kitchen cabinets myself!
Never heard of this process but always wondered what that look was ! Great info. Love this look. So posh
Thank you so much!! Wes
Your Hired!!! I Absolutely love the new color!!! Thank you for your video, I'm going to try this!!!!!
You are so welcome...thank you very much for watching! Good luck, Wes
That is exactly the color i want for my stair railings. Thank you so much for the tutorial....cant wait to try it.
I’m doing my research and plan on starting my kitchen cabinets in September.
I have never heard of this technique but very interesting.
Thank you.
Glad you liked the video...thanks for watching. Wes
New subscriber! You came up on my CZcams and this is my first video. Love it along with your calming voice n passionate presence
Thank you for such a kind comment...glad you have joined our community. Wes
@@WoodworkingWithWes you’re welcome
This is the look I’m after…thanks so much for the help.😉
Your work is beautiful!
Your work and explanations are great! As someone who likes to do the minimum ( I know I shouldn’t), can you please explain why you did two coats or primer? Since you want to reveal the grain when you stain and rub a lot of the paint and stain off, why is it necessary to do the two coats of primer?
Hi Glenda...I thought I mentioned in the video that I did not get good coverage with only 1 coat of primer and so I had to do a second coat. Thanks for watching. Wes
I’m with you Glenda, if you’re going to wipe off the primer to show the grain, why 2 coats? 🤷🏻♀️ But he’s the professional 😜
@@WoodworkingWithWes ì
When I look up M.L. Campbell Glazes, it gives me multiple choices. Which type of glaze do I need for doing my cabinets while still mounted? I'm hoping for something with a blueish gray tint with white being the primer as well.
Hi Cheryl...I use ML Campbell furniture glaze that can be tinted to your choice of color. Thanks for watching. Wes
Your project looks amazing. I love it. ❤
I love my 20 year old golden oak cabinets
This is awesome!!! I have this same situation. I have a beautiful bedroom set I want to paint to make it look more of a farmhouse style, but was nervous about doing it. You just gave me the confidence I needed to do it myself, and it looks beautiful!! Thank you for a GREAT tutorial!! You have a new subscriber!!
Thank you for becoming part of our community! Good luck with your bedroom set I am sure it will be great! Wes
The video is very entertaining but it would take me years to do my kitchen...
czcams.com/video/mW0gnJYuqr0/video.html
Destiny. I KNOW this isn't for my husband and I. We still have outside house paint 'stored' in the foyer from three YEARS ago. We got about half way...I give up.
Big kitchen the 🤔✔️
If it took you one whole day to do a cabinet, you can do ten cabinets in ten days. When you break it down that way, it doesn’t seem too bad. That’s what I intend to do. Not a rush. I don’t really care how long it takes me. As long as I don’t have to pay $3000.00 to paint my cabinets like my daughter did. Mine would probably be even more since I have more cabinets! I’m 74 years old. I have all the time in the world.😄
@@mildredjeff5024 This is an excellent way of looking at it! As long as you're not as easily distracted as I am, and stay on task you'll have a gorgeous kitchen in less than two weeks! Good luck to you. Maybe share a photo? Thanks for the sane way of looking at this chore. ;- )
I have these exact cabinets. I simply applied Glaze Effects by General Finishes in Van Dyke Brown and wiped off the excess. It turned my orange golden oak cabinets to a beautiful brown, much like this video (before he sanded off the glaze) But in half the time or less. I refinish all my bathroom doors and erased 20 years of wear and tear from raising kids.
It cover scratches and nicks. I appreciate this guys patience but I like the look of wood and have too many cabinets to do these multiple steps. 😅
This is so cool! I recently had my kitchen table redone and am not at all happy with it. I think I can do this!
I would like to see this technique using different colors. Like a white base with dark blue glaze. Or maybe yellow paint with black glaze.
Hi James...You could always do a test sample on the back side of a drawer to see what you like. Thanks. Wes
czcams.com/video/mW0gnJYuqr0/video.html
Absolutely beautiful job! Not to mention your explanations of the whole process. I am considering re-finishing walls and ceiling in every room of a tiny home I’ve purchased. It’s wall, ceiling ect are all pine with the same golden colour as your oak cabinet. Quite frankly, after 6 months of living in it , I’m sick of it. I want it to be white. What would you suggest to maintain all the natural pine knots ect
to continue to show through. Do I need to apply a remover for the surface as it appears to have a coating of some kind or can I just sand? I’ve purchased a white stain, Benjamin Moore semi-solid. I cringe at the thought of how much work this will be but know it will be so worth it. I look forward to hearing your recommendations.
Thanks from us newbies for your excellent teaching style.
❤️ from 🇨🇦.
To end up with the finish you described, I am sorry but you would have to start with bare wood. Try just sanding to see if the existing finish comes off easily but you may have to strip and then sand. You are right, its a lot of work but well worth it. Good luck. Wes
Amazing patience needed,-well done-looks great!
Thank you very much for visiting the channel. Wes
Great video, very well done. Finished product is gorgeous. Thankyou.
Thank you so much!
ME at 1/2 hour into video - "That is going to look terrible, can't believe he calls himself a professional"!
ME at the end of the video - "Now that came out beautiful, just what I am looking for to update my outdated kitchen cabinets. This guy definitely knows what he is doing"!
Haha...that's funny!! Glad you like it, thanks for watching. Wes
Cool effect. A polycrylic might be better for preserving the final color since it stays clear. Urethane yellows and you spent all that effort getting rid of the yellow tones.
Without looking for it, I found the video I needed because I was thinking of painting a small cabinet that is in whitewash and giving it a nice color. You are my inspiration, your work is excellent. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! View some of our other cerusing videos for additional color options.
Thank you, Wes
Wowsers ! Thank you Wes !!!!
Golden oak is never outdated. It’s classic.
Having rubbed down/back to expose the grain, I find
it much quicker to apply a ‘ liming wax ‘ at that
stage. Leave few hours and the buff up .
Works a treat ! ✔️
OR you could chalk paint at that stage too, then
apply clear wax , leave few hours, then buff of etc
I agree al liming wax or white washing would’ve been easier and less time-consuming.
Orla, are you saying use liming wax instead of wire brushing? More details please! Wes- do you have an opinion on this?
Thank you for another lovely learning video!!😊
Beautiful job!
