      That's what I was thinking when I first started watching. I was thinking there's no way in hell I'm going to wire brush my whole kitchen but I am going to wire brush the face of the doors. Maybe even just the raised areas only and do the rest of the background grey or black because I wanted to do two tone grey anyways

    Wes, I have a few things to say about your video - 1. You are clearly a very skilled a knowledgeable cabinet maker. Thanks for sharing a window into your work with a wider audience. 2. You are methodical, which helps those of us learning a new skill and makes the result more consistent. 3. Even if the technique isn't everyone's cup of tea, it's still quite cool to see how you can change the surface of wood this way. Creativity is so wonderful! Lastly, you are a class act; I paged through the comments and was so impressed with how many you answered personally, and how many you didn't respond to - because they were rude, or just trying to provoke. Class Act. Patient, friendly, methodical, and positive. Well done sir!

    Many people get rid of oak cabinets because they want to update. Unfortunately, they have substandard particle board or laminate cabinets installed and remove solid oak which is more durable. The ceruse painting technique retains the beauty and grain of oak while updating the finish. Thanks for sharing this painting technique; it's a game changer.

      I agree. Most people don’t understand or they can’t visualize what the oak cabinets can look like so they choose what they can see in samples in front of them or pictures from a magazine. That’s one big reason they need to be shown samples of actual oak cabinet doors that have been refinished.

    @kiankian7233 Před 2 lety +75

    Thank you for posting this video, I've done cerusing in different way, I like to share with everyone here:
    1- After wire brushing, a complete sanding is done, making sure the hard grain is sanded smooth, this way, less sanding is required after glazing, it will reduce the chance of sanding through the base coat.
    2- A primed surface is too porous and not ideal for a cerusing application, so a clear coat applied over the base coat crates a much smoother surface to do the glazing step, if this part is sprayed, it will usually lay on the hard surface and will not affect the soft grain, where the glaze will be collected. Old timers used to apply a size coat, which is a clear coat reduced to 50% of finishing material plus 50% thinner. A primed surface is good for other glazing techniques, like distressing, but generally not a good idea for cerusing.
    3- An oil based glaze has more of open time, so cleaning is much more simpler and
    requires less sanding. In case of using a water based glaze, use retarder to have plenty of time to clean up the excess glaze.
    4- Use a squeegee to clean the glaze, it will automatically leave the glaze into the grain, and
    the hard grain is left clean.
    5- Apply two coats of clear coat, let it dry and cure completely, buff to desired sheen.

    this is awesome, my father did my grandparents kitchen with white oak back in the early 80s and its so high quality it would be foolish to rip it out but it's kinda dated now. His panels are flat, 1 inch thick and he rounded the corners off about the curve of a quarter. All the grain is mirrored, panels are huge. I bet that kitchen would cost a fortune now. I'm fairly certain it's all solid core too, all his furniture is solid, no mdf. Ive never seen another kitchen like it. By the time I was old enough all we did was raised panel on every single job. I bet if we sell that house some idiot would rip that kitchen out. I think I'll try to replace it before that happens. move it.

    I know it’s out of style, but I just bought my house that was built in 1976, and all the woodwork in the house is golden oak, and I love it. I’m not one to jump on the trend bus, because things come and go out of fashion so quickly that you have to constantly update to stay in fashion. It’s much easier for me to have a tried and true classic or vintage look. Also if I were to do that finish on my cabinets, I would have to remove all of the tile backsplash which is a sandstone color and I’d need new countertops after that. That’s a whole lot of work and a whole lot of money, and I don’t want my kitchen out of commission for longer than a day.
    I do love the look of an all black and white kitchen, with granite countertops and white subway tile backsplash and I saw one done with a black porcelain farmhouse sink that looked spectacular with all black appliances. It was gorgeous.
    But like I said the house is new to me and they kept it in excellent condition put new luxury vinyl flooring in all the main rooms and new Corelli countertops that are off white with small flecks of browns. All the kitchen and baths are golden oak as well and have the same sandstone tile and the floors are terracotta 12x12’s which I’m perfectly happy with. I may not win any hot trend awards but I’m a winner in my mind. I came from a 1950’s ranch house with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths in Long Beach California and I had just finished it’s complete remodel, though I went for restoring it to its original finishes and updated the bathrooms in black and white which came out beautifully. I sold that house in April of 2020 just as the lockdowns went into effect and I paid $301k for the house in 2010. I sold it for $649k and moved to the country in northeastern Texas, and bought a 4 bedroom 4 bath 2600 sq ft brick ranch house for $300k. I was able to pay off my old mortgage my second mortgage and pay for the new house in cash, and still had enough left over to buy new furniture and state of the art washer and dryer and pay for the arm and a leg cross country movers who did all the packing and moved me. I just couldn’t be happier and I love this part of Texas right on the red river and the Oklahoma border, it’s very lush and green here and people are really friendly.my lot is .67 of an acre in a nice tucked away part of town with all matching brick ranch homes and a private lake. I have 21 zones in my front yard irrigation system and a huge back yard that was all landscaped by the former owner who owns the city nursery. So it’s just stunning. I subscribed to your channel I really liked this tutorial and look forward to seeing more of your work. I sure could use your skills to do some custom cabinetry for me. Have a blessed day.

    I really liked the white with the wood grain showing through! It is also nice to know that you can do this process with a wire brush start and just a soft sanding after. I'm not a huge fan of the black grain that was added, but it was a really interesting technique to learn about ... I'm now wondering if I could do something similar but have the wood grain accented with a pastel color (like pink) ... This looks like a ton of work though, so for now.. I will just stare at my yellow oak cabinets and wonder what I will do in the end xD. Thanks for sharing!
