Watch as Wes shows you how to achieve this unique glazing application.
The paint is the same as my video with the 3 cabinet finishes I posted. It is a tinted primer sealer from M.L. Campbell. I used a white/black oil based glaze and final step is a clear top coat of lacquer.

Hey check out the video where I go more in depth as to how I get this look czcams.com/video/LdmsLbqGA1c/video.html
You could have just done that in this video!
I would love to get that machine your using to texture the wood, when I can afford my next tool. Great video Wes, God bless and thank you. 🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸
Wes, you'll get a kick out of this. My dad built our house in the mid 50s. He designed most of it, and it was a fairly modern style. He built the cabinets for the home, and our kitchen was and the master batch cabinets were done in this fashion. He called it "Silver Fox" technique. This brought back SO many memories of growing up in that house. Thank you for re-discovering it.
Great story....thanks !! Because of this video I AM the one learning about all these different techniques and unique finishes that I didn't know about. Glad you enjoyed it.
Lol this is what I am thinking of doing to my black cabinets. Me and your dad think alike. "Silver fox technique" I like that
@@amiracleone2803 someone did a guitar like this and calls it the Dog Hair Guitar
@@yellowcat1310 sounds like a cool guitar
@@WoodworkingWithWes can you do black with dark purple color?
I am thinking of shou sugi ban technique with some kind of deep purple dye
Great video! This would be a great look to update outdated natural oak kitchen cabinets and doors.
That's a great idea! Thanks for watching.
the white gray looks awesome
Later this year I will be building a guitar out of ash, and was looking for some tips on how to do this kind of finish. This video was really helpful, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your nice comment. Good luck on your guitar and let me know how it comes out. Wes
I'm just so glad I find u now Sir.
Just in the right time.
Thx for sharing experiences.
From Syria.. All respect
Thank you and welcome to our woodworking community!! Wes
IN '92 I BOUGHT MY ALL-TIME BEST CONGAS FROM LP CALLED GIOVANNI GALAXY. I FOUND A VIDEO ON HOW THEY WERE FINISHED AND THIS ONE OF YOURS IS THE CLOSEST. MANY THANKS AS THIS TECHNIQUE IS VERY NEW!!
Spectacular! Well done Wes!
Thank you so very much...glad you enjoyed the video. Wes
Thank you for the piece of wisdom.
My pleasure...thank you for watching.
Hell Yeah so glad I found this video!
I am glad you found it too!! Thank you.
I am with you on the red oak, it’s my fav also. Love that look, and I have subscribed to your channel to learn from you. Thank you sir.
Awesome! Thank you!
That is seriously awesome work man! I love the way they came out :)
Glad you like them! Wes
1st time here; very cool Wes! Very cool. I was researching a method of staining in black. A more contemporary look for a Bakers rack I am building out of 1" rounded 1/8" aluminum. TIG welded. The wood I chose more out of economics for my sister-in-law, select 3/4 pine from HD which is lovely and clean. I burned a Mapel 2" slab for a job and used an epoxy clear bar top and it came out almost 3-dimensional, totally cool. Can't burn 3/4" anything, so wanted to try black stain. I would of got oak but didn't know. I will be learning more in the weeks to come from "Woodworking with Wes" good times
Thank you for you comment and good luck in your future projects. Wes

THat is so nice finish work
Thank you very much...I appreciate you visiting.
jolly good stuff:]
I have ripped some logs and would love to try this.
Sounds like a great idea :)) Thanks for watching...glad you enjoyed the video. Wes
Been doing this for years on repurposed furniture getting it wet will naturally raise the grain as well then stain it or paint it then glaze and sand clear coat. I can match floors or any color paint to use as a base color. Burning it will also reduce the softer part of the grain and combined makes it feel like it looks.
Hi...wow, very impressive! Thank you for sharing that good information. Thank you for visiting my channel. Wes
I tried this style on my electric guitar. Wet the grain with water based aniline dye, seal with sanding sealer then sand and clear coat. Looks similar to this video, but in my case green and black. But I might try this on my next build.
nice work
Very helpful ❤
Glad you think so...thanks for watching, Wes!
Very nice!
Thanks for the visit
Excellent
Thank you. I think learning how to apply different finishes has been a very satisfying part of my woodworking experience.
Nice secret 007.Thnaks
LOVE THAT BLACK ONE ON THE LEFT...;)
Beautiful
Thank you, Wes
Also works on pine... nice video.
Neat!
Questions:
* What type of paint did you use?
* How did you seal the paint?
* What did you use for your glazing?
* What did you do the top coat?
Neat process

OK! Here is my update from using Sherwin-Williams Sherwood Kem Aqua Plus Clear WB.
Sprayed two coats of Behr satin enamel paint on a large wine hutch w/ built in hickory wine rack (that was hit with lacquer)
Flawless. Turned out great! Laid on easy, melted into each coat well, no bubbling or peel of the paint.
I did a few test pieces on various woods and here are the results:
Oil based stain on maple ply: Two coats, no sanding between (30 minutes apart) no issues. I did place a third just to see and without sanding I did get some micro bumps in various spots. I wouldn't do 3 again on oil based stain.
Clear maple: No issues
Maple with oil based stain: No issues
Unsanded select pine: No issues, not even grain raise.
Walnut: No issues, though it was pretty dull. I would opt for urethane or oil top coat on this for sure.
OVERALL:
Definitely like the product and will use again for pretty everything, unless it's a walnut or natural wood requiring a pop finish. I'm going to talk to the techs at Sherwin-Williams and look into a tint to help with the "dull" look on natural woods. Hope this is helpful for all!
Thank you! Having not used water based finishes this is very informative. Sharing information like this helps all of us and I appreciate it.
I added a new video on this today which explains the process much better. Thanks czcams.com/video/LdmsLbqGA1c/video.html
I might have to try this on a rifle stock. I feel like this will allow to give it a distinct look.
You are right...that would look awesome. Send me a pic when you are done. Thank you!
@@WoodworkingWithWes So I tried it, and it just didn't come out right. Lots of curves to deal with. However I have spare pieces I can work on for future projects
@@abitofapickle6255 Sorry that didn't work out for you. I have added another video today with further explanation and product suggestions with this technique. Thank you!
czcams.com/video/LdmsLbqGA1c/video.html
There are a number of gun makers doing this finish on gun stocks.
Very informative!!!
Glad it was helpful!...thank you for watching. Wes
@@WoodworkingWithWes of course. Can u tell me which woods wouldn't be good to use for this
@@brittany9414 The woods with very distinct grain, such as oak and ash, will do better than the softer grain woods such as alder and cherry. If you have a particular wood you would like to try, experiment and see how it goes. Thanks, good luck!
@@WoodworkingWithWes thanks 😊
Nice
Hey Wes, how well do you think this would work with cedar spindles? Obviously the Makita wheel wouldn't work well given their shape, but if I can streamline bringing out the grain on those (sandblaster seems too harsh, but maybe not?) then that'd be really cool. But I'm wondering if you think cedar has the right kind of grain for this. Thanks, Clair
Sar amazing your working toolsAnd amazing your working skillYou are a master of techniqueWooden workAnd I am your studentVery beautiful work you sir
Thank you very much...I appreciate your comment and am glad you like the video.
This technique works extremely well with soft wood (Douglass Fer)
I make outdoor seating benches
I prime the stock first after dried
I take that wire brush holding it at a 45* start to brush the wood vigorous, that's it
Clean then paint
One or Two tones
One tone, grains pop very nice
It also feels good to the touch
Wow...very nice. Thanks for sharing :))
@@WoodworkingWithWes can you please share the type of paints you used for the black and white?

You use paint? It's not stain. Want to try this.
@@melving2564 thanks for the comments
Are you asking, do I use stain, Yes stain give a nice appeal to the sense
Paint give more of an textured effect, you see & feel the uneven grain under the paint
Could you use wood dye and glaze to create a similar effect? I've commented on various ones of your videos having different questions. One last question: Can this be done on oak plywood? I'm pretty sure it can, but was just wondering.
It’s a beautiful technique and you shared it well. Let me tell you, though, how my heart sank to learn the wood has to be painted first. I just spent 3 days stripping and sanding the paint off my wood stair treads! Sob!
Yes...I feel your pain but just think you will end up with a better job in the end. Hard work always has a benefit. Good luck. Thanks for watching. Wes
NICE
Thank you very much. Wes
Very good my friend
Thank you! Cheers!
That makita tool also works well on shousugiban.
Thanks I will check it out.
Cerused or limed finishes were big back in the 1950s and early 1960s. There is nothing new about this technique. Still, good to see videos on it. Thanks.
Thank you for the insight...I appreciate knowing that. I am glad for your input and that you enjoyed it. Have a great weekend.
Yes they were. Check out the two books authored by: George Frank. Had the pleasure of meeting him years ago.
Austrian architect Josef Hoffmann did this in zthe early 1900s, he made a lot of different furnitures with this finish. Coolest thing ever!😁
Look up "Cerused finish" or "Cerusing" It can also be done using Liming Wax so check that out too.
I will do that...thank you Tony for the suggestion.
@@WoodworkingWithWes it really is a great look I’ve used it on several jobs. Great video!
@@AJF4Me Great to hear that...thank you for your feedback. Happy New Year!
Guitar makers have been doing this finish for about 10 years with ash, mahogany, and other woods with strong grains with open pores. We call it "dog hair" finishes, because it recalls the varied patterns of dog breeds. We don't just use black and white - we use red, green, blue, silver, and yellow, too.
That sounds very interesting...I would love to see some. Is there a site or channel where I could see that? Thank you.
@@WoodworkingWithWes - The technique is called ceruse...
czcams.com/video/qCH0sAczZEA/video.html&ab_channel=ManicaroCustomGuitars
Hi Wes, turned out beautiful, question for you, my cabinets are oak in the white wash finish. I now want to change n go for a dark stain finish. What color would I need to paint them to b able to get that effect?
Maria...we have several videos with different color combinations using the ceruse method. Check them out for additional options. Thanks Wes
Love your channel! I am refinishing a tabletop. I’m interested in this technique for sure. It’s made of Malaysian oak/Rubberwood. Would this work well with this type of wood? Thanks!
Unfortunately I am not familiar with the wood species that you have referenced. But if the grain is similar to American Red Oak you should be just fine. Thank you for watching and good luck! Wes
Thank you so so much for showing this process. I'm from Manchester but am living and working in Dhaka, Bangladesh currently. I am getting some furniture made using Indian Gurjan/Balsam (Dipterocarpus turbinatus) commonly referred to as a 'metal wood' because it's quite durable and hard and furniture made from it lasts generations.
Do you have any experience working with SE Asian hard woods and staining it this way? Thanks a lot mate
No I am not familiar with that hard wood. Sorry wish I could help further. Wes
Ive been doing this finish at my job for the last 10 years. We call it ceruse
Wow thats awesome. Then I am sure you could teach me a few things. Thanks
100% grade A Art.
Hello Wes I was trying to figure out the brush/sander unit I would like to get one but don’t know want to call it?
I love this look, thank you for sharing! You mentioned this technique only works with certain types of wood, could I do this with mango wood?
Sorry I have never done the ceruse technique on a mango wood. Thanks for watching, Wes
TYFS 👍🏻👍🏻
You are welcome..thank you for visiting :))
Are you using acrylic latex or solvent based paints?
Excellent video and a true craftsman.
This video is so well done. But I just wanted to say. The two colors of finish both of which are beautiful btw,.. would be better defined if you taped the same one piece board down the center but the same grain and sealed on one buried level just to showcase the offset of the effect of the offset of finishes but better recognized when it's viewed on the same grain profile...? If that came out correctly. All thumbs up.
Hi Richard...that's a great suggestion. I will try to get that on a video. Thanks for watching. Wes
Pretty cool! Probably won’t work well on cedar fence pickets would it?
Actually I have never tried it before but give it a shot...you never know. Thanks for visiting. Wes
Would something like this work to do a faux spalted look? So instead of a colored paint a clear coat. Then sealer ( what kind of sealer would you use by the way?) And then the dark glaze and a final sealer?
Hi...I don't know if you could get a faux spalted look with this process, I have never tried it .
As for a sealer, check with your paint supplier for one that will meet your needs. Thank you very much for watching.
Porous woods like mahogany also works excellent..
Thanks for your comment. Wes
Hi Wes love your videos I know nothing about wood but learning all the time with your videos,I have a dark mahogany table that my mother was throwing away but would love to bring it back to life with that black/white glaze
Would I be able to do this on dark mahogany using your method white grain with Black Finnish… 😘

Geez O peet’s...Love it!!
Thanks for watching !
@@WoodworkingWithWes you’re welcome
you should try mono coat, you put the pre colour on first and the oil on 2nd the oil has a hardener that you add to it, its a very durable finish used for floors but you can use it on any projects
Hi Paul...what a great idea! We appreciate this and i would love to do a video using the method you suggest. I am not familiar with the process...could you please explain in more detail as to what I would have to do to end up with the cerusing look? I am excited to give this a try and would love to give you a shout out on the video if you don't mind. If so, let us know where you are from and anything you would like us to mention with your woodworking skill level. Thank you.
@@WoodworkingWithWes czcams.com/video/YqAg8iD2aqU/video.html
I just found this sort video on CZcams that shows the process, their is plenty of different colours you can't combine to get different finishes, their is also a ageing, smoke and fumed products they do to name just a few, in all honesty its the best stuff I come across in a long time
@@theborderwolf Thank you very much...we will check into it.
Was that KC and the Sunshine Band music during your painting montage?
Hi...our editor just uses download music from CZcams. Thanks for watching.
Porter Cable makes a similar tool, they call it a "restorer." I have one and use it often for distressing, and semi-removing paint for that aged and peeling look.
Thanks for the information...I didn't know about that and will check it out. Have a great weekend.
@@WoodworkingWithWes You're welcome, and thanks for this (and the more detailed) video. I have tons of Red Oak that I never use, until now. I think I will use your technique to make some picture frames for some of my artwork.
@@SupposedlyFree That sounds like a great idea...glad we could find something for you to use up your red oak. Keep up the good work!
Hello, those are beautiful designs. I am going to paint an unfinished mahogany guitar body. Would this work on Mahogany as well? Thank you.
Hi Jeremy...I have never tried this process on Mahogany. I would suggest doing a test sample to see how you like it. Thanks for watching.
The technical term is called lifting the grain so the grain is higher than full surface 😊
Beautiful, can this be done to hardwood floors?
Hi...some people are having success with hardwood floors. Make a test piece to make sure you get your desired look first. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Wes
Oooh! Just what I wanted to know!!! Have you tried it? Wes, this wonderful! I’ve been watching your videos most of the morning!!?
Hi Wes, great job!! Currently remodelling our kitchen and I have a quick question. You mentioned that you sprayed the paint, SEALED it, and then put the glaze on (2:30). What do you mean by this sealing step? What or why did you use? I haven't seen the sealing step in your other video about cerused oak. Thanks! (I am suspecting you mean priming, but doesn't the primer seal everything?)
Sorry I misspoke. The color that I sprayed is a primer sealer and is self-sealing. So apply the glaze right on the color. Thanks for watching. Wes
How well will it hold up t UV ‘s
Hello, do you sand at the end to eliminate texture on the wood or do you leave it with texture?
Thank you for watching the video. The textured feel of the wood remains but is smooth to the touch after you apply the lacquer finish.
Hi...I have added a better video today on this technique. See what you think...thanks. czcams.com/video/LdmsLbqGA1c/video.html
I’ll have too try this on some wood and make a case for my guns
I think it would look great. Thanks for watching.

Thank you...I will watch the videos!!
I had some old kilz laying around and got some glaze and it worked great. I didn't have much of the paint and had to get different paint and when I added glaze the paint smeared everywhere. What kind of paint do I need to keep it from smearing?
Your color coat, white or other color, to be sealed before applying the glaze. Check our latest video for help. czcams.com/video/kZDk0CBRS3I/video.html
Hope this helps, thanks for watching, Wes
So cooler
Thank you...I appreciate you visiting 😊
What kind of paint used Mr. Wes?
Should it only be done on flat sawn wood? How do you keep wide panels from cupping if it is all flat sawn?
I have only done this finish on flat wood, which is of course the easiest. Keeping panels from cupping is always a challenge but sealing both sides sThould help.Thank you for watching.
Some people call that finish 'dog hair'. Obviously, it only works with highly grained wood.
Wow such a cool video, do u use the wire brush before you put the paint on or after?
The wire brushing has to be done before you paint. Thanks for visiting our channel.

czcams.com/video/LdmsLbqGA1c/video.html
@@WoodworkingWithWes im confused on the paint. you keep saying you use vinyl paint sealer. but in the video the can says white vinyl primer. which one is it. also all you show or talk about what product you use is white or snow bunny color. what about the black base color. what paint are you using there.
Would this work for flame maple? I want to stain the top of a guitar (flame maple) white and use black glaze to bring out the figuring. Would this technique work or is maple too dense of a wood?
I have never tried it on maple so I really don't know. I would suggest doing a test piece to see what you think. Let me know and thank you for watching!
No. Maple has very closed grain pores. It's not about density at all.
