Eliminating sanding, stripping and all the clean-up makes cerusing the perfect solution. More than just a new color, this technique enhances and brings to life the beauty of the oak grain. Unlimited colors and contrasting glazes needs only your imagination to create the ultimate transformation in your home.
Supplies I used:
~Tinted Vinyl Sealer (green)
~Tinted Pre Cat Lacquer (gray)
~White Furniture Glaze
~Pre Cat Lacquer Top Coat
~Staining sponges
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. czcams.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
One the key things to remember here is wes is spraying professional laquer on old parts with a spray gun in a booth. Most folks on this channel don’t have access to a booth or laquer due to certain epa standards and you must be a cabinet shop that can readily get these products note on his bench is all pro products for industry standard coatings. However with that said. I would ask mr wess. Pls show your methods on readily available products from big box stores that everyone has access to. Much easier to show in your environment than in someone’s garage trying to figure out how to do these techniques but with that said if your catering to those of us who have worked in a booth. These methods are excellent. My 2 cents I luv what you do. But pls do a video from a regular homeowners view. Like where can I go to get similar products.
It's 2023 you can order just about anything you want. The real problem with getting "pro" grade materials is the amount they will sell it to you. You can't get small amounts.
The green is wonderful. Gray is nice too. THANK YOU!
That white glaze looks awesome. I’m going to redo my bathroom, and definitely going to have some cerused pieces in there.
They both turned out beautiful! It's the NO BURN white version of Shou Sugi Ban. Love it! ♥
Thank goodness I found you! I was looking for layering gel stains to first neutralize the golden oak, then darken. Your video came up just in time to sol e my problem and to make it more long lasting. Great job and beautiful samples.
I have a large golden oak buffet. I didn't want to lose the wood grain by painting it with chalk paint, so this is just what I was searching for!!
Loving all your videos on cerusing. Please keep up the color options and samples. There is no shortage of golden oak furniture out there in the world and it is nice to know and see that there are techniques that show off the wood grain rather that just painting once someone has decided that they want to change out the golden oak color.
I agree and appreciate your comment. Keep watching, more colors to come. Wes
Thank you, I just happened on your channel. I need to redo all cabinets in a very old house I bought. This is perfect. I love how your samples turned out. 😃
You are so welcome...thank you for visiting the channel. Wes
Love that gray door with white glaze just beautiful. Nice job
Thanks so much! 😊
LOVE THE GREY ONE!!
love the green !
I have an old dining table and chairs, this is exactly what I want to do to refinish them, thanks for the idea.
You are very welcome...good luck with your project. Wes
Great technique Wes! I particularly like the green 👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks so much John. Wes
Wow I love these, beautiful job. I’ll have to try this technique 😉
Glad you enjoyed it...I really like the technique too! Thanks for watching Wes
Really wonderful finishing technique.
Thank you...I appreciate you watching and your kind comment. Wes
I love your videos !! Your super amazing at what you do 🥰
Thank you so much...I appreciate the comment, Wes
So cool Mr.Wess. ! Thanks so much.♥️ love it I think I can do this your given me much confidence. Thanks sweetie.
You are so welcome. Wes
Thank you for sharing this technique. I now know exactly how I want to redo my honey kitchen cabinets. Thought my option was painting but was hesitant. Love the glaze technique because of how the grain shows through. 😊
Hi...so glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck with your cabinets....they will be great. Thanks, Wes
You’re the man!
Thanks for visiting the channel ! Wes
I had to go back and watch it again to get what your base materials were, because I was surprised when you said that one of the colors was lacquer. I would have never thought to use that as a base. You are truly the master of cerusing 😃.
Same here
I love that green color!
Thank you...I appreciate the support. Wes
Gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
Nice work man thank you from morrocco north africa
I just enjoy your channel so much❤️
Thank you very much...I appreciate you being part of our community. Wes
Thanks Wes! I can’t agree more to use actual glaze products vs. gels, or stains. I bought a clear glaze and mixed it with my paint. It came out great!
Hey that's great! Thanks for your comment. Wes
What kind of paint? water base or oil?
@@tullysoulliere8103 water based house paint.
That is a good looking finish.
Thank you very much!
Your content is so great, I just love watching all your videos! It would be even better if you had a lapel microphone, or a boom microphone to really boost the audio quality of the great information you give.
Great!
New subscriber here, I'm watching all your videos, love them, Love the look of Cerusing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Now I have to get me some Campbell supplies.. :)
Thank you for watching...I really appreciate your comment. Wes
That green look like the color I am thinking of for my kitchen! My floors are ceramis=c tiles in a tera cotta that has some greens in it and my countertop is a med dark green. I need to get some sample and start playing. Thank you so much for all the follow up videos you have done with this technique - my cabinets are hickory so your last one with all the different wood types made me know that this would work well on the hickory. I'm thinking I could take a couple of drawer fronts and do the backs to test the colors- what do you think?
That's a great idea!! Have fun and let me know how it comes out. Thanks Wes
Looks awesome
Thank you :))
This is a good idea.
😀
Love both but if I had to choose I’d go with the gray.
Great tips.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Wes
Ficou muito lindo
I love this look! I wish I wasn't such a chicken I would try this on my kitchen cabinets.
😃. Thanks for watching. Wes
BE BRAVE and give it a try on a less conspicuous spot. Life is short.
I love that green cabinet. That has to be my favorite so far. Where could you find this color of paint and the glaze. My kitchen cabinets could use a refresh. Love watching your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Janette...check ML Campbell website for a distributor closest to you or as I stated at the beginning of the video, primers and glazes are available at big box hardware stores or nationwide paint store chains. Thanks for watching. Wes
Hi Wes, love these videos, I like that you used spray gun for the paint and top coat.... can you talk about that and maybe a video how to some day... if you already have one please do send the link, would love to learn more on that.
gorgeous
Thank you!
Hi Wes. Thank you. I’m going to try the cerusing process. I have plywood fronts on my cabinets. We’ll see what happens. I can always buy new fronts and try the process.
Can U try using the cerusing process only switch the process with the same colors:
1. Use a colored primer and a white glaze.
2. Use a white primer and the same colored glaze.
Don’t use back, try a different color like red, blue, or green.
Thanks
Hey Steve...thanks for the suggestions. Wes
Beautiful
Thank you
Hello. Will this work for an outdoor teak set? How to make it weatherproof, if possible, please? Thank You Very Much !!! These samples are very, very beautiful !!!
Hello Wes!
Great video. Loving how this technique brings out the wood grain
I just purchased my first older home
The kitchen cabinets look to be wood but have been stained a very dark brown color
Would additional steps need to be taken to use your ceruse technique??
Jennifer...the first thing you need to determine is the type of wood your cabinets are made of. If oak or ash, the ceruse technique will work over any color. If it is not, the cerusing technique would not work as well. Check out our video with the product Beyond Paint if that is the case. Thanks, Wes
czcams.com/video/qkcuOknMxqQ/video.html
Could you try a tan paint with a brownish stain? I have cabinets with the same color you've started with. I love the antique look of the cerusing. Just want to know what these colors would look like together. I will do a search in your videos to see if you've done that already. Any ideas from you are welcome.
I would suggest trying your own color sample to find the color combination you like best. Thanks for watching our videos. Wes
nice. would like to see you different color combinations - what if you used a glaze that was not white? It would be interesting to see different combos
We have done other color combinations in past videos and hope to do more. Thanks for watching. Wes
Beautiful! I'm going to give this a try. Can I use this technique on a table with a round pedestal base?
Absolutely...this would be GREAT on a round oak table with a pedestal base. Thanks for watching. Wes
Subscribed!! 👍🏽😻
Thank you very much for being part of our community. Wes
Hi Wes, my oak kitchen cabinets are painted with white paint. So I have to remove paint first then do this trick or just do this trick on the painted ones?
Dear Wes, have you ever tried to glaze a 2nd coat using a different color tint to try an achieve even more contrasts Is this possible
I really appreciate you taking the time to show us how to ceruse cabinet doors. I bought an acrylic paint from Sherman Williams. Note the problem is getting a glaze that will give me the white highlights that you have shown. I guess the issue is the glaze. What specific glaze am I supposed to use to get the effect you have done?
Hi Daniel...sorry for the delay in responding. I use ML Campbell furniture glaze but I have heard it is hard to obtain. I am providing a link to a video I have done with easy to obtain products. Thank you.
czcams.com/video/Lg7VupDF8sE/video.html
Does this work on pine? What if I had solid pine six panel doors raw then painted, is it too late to re-do for a result like yours?
I'm struggling to find an equivalent paint in the UK. Is the vinyl sealer similar to an Eggshell water based paint that can go on walls and wood or is it more like a water based wood only paint? I LOVE this technique and thanks for demonstrating it. I've loved all the videos you've done on this technique.
Hi...I have only used primer type paints so I suggest doing a test piece and check your results. The primers I use have been primer sealers so on a regular paint you may have to apply a sealer coat between the paint and glaze. Good luck...let me know how it works out. Thanks, Wes
Are those only for oak !! Can you apply on teak or pine something like others??
Wes come to Arizona and do my cabinets. 😏🤭😲😁
Haha...sounds tempting when our winters get down to below 0 with heavy snow. 😀
Can I use this for a oak table? I want to do my cabinets and a table 3 leaf that I found at the side of the road it has beautiful grain. I am concern with it lasting. What can I use to make it durable? Thank you
What if I want my oak cabinets to be darker, but not primed or painted? Can I ceruse/glaze without painting a different color? Do you have a video on using the wire brush right on the oak cabinet and then glazing it?
I love this look but don't want to do it myself. Do you hire out ot can you make recommendations for central VA area?
Hi Love the effects they beautiful, my question is what can I use instead of MLC BLACK GLAZE
We have been doing research and have recently posted a video with alternative products as well as another one coming up this weekend. Hope this will help. Thanks, Wes
Nice 👍😎
Thank you !!
My family and friends “antiqued” far too much furniture in the 80’s for me to get on board with this……but maybe if the green drawer front had been glazed with a tinted green glaze instead……
Hi. I actually made my oak raised panel kitchen from scratch years ago! And of course, they are golden. Now I might redo them like you did here, but have a couple questions. Theres so grime that needs cleaned especially at the door handles from our hands. What do you clean that off with? Also I have spray equipment, and see you sprayed your doors in a booth. How do you apply the lacquer on the rest that can't get into a booth to spray? A brush or pad? How durable is this finished product? Ive airbrushed and painted with urethanes on motorcycles, etc, but not wood. They are protected by catalyzed thicker, durable urethanes clears, not lacquer, that was used in the 60's on cars. Thanks for you input!
Clean your doors with lacquer thinner or mineral spirits until all of the dirt and oils are gone, then you can begin the wire brush step and paint. Painting the cabinet boxes in place can be done with a paint brush. Make sure the product you use can be applied with a brush and follow manufacturers instructions for a smooth finish. Thanks, Wes
JUST BEAUTIFUL! Would you ceruse the cabinets completely or are you just doing the doors? Second question. My cabinets are painted and they are not pretty anymore. Do you have to strip them down to raw wood?
Hi Theresa...that is a hard question to answer not knowing the type of wood your paint has covered. If it is oak, you might be able to just start with the wire brush and repaint and glaze. Do a test sample to see your results. Also watch our video on cerusing the entire cabinet. Thanks Wes
Does anyone know What is the UK's equivalent to what glaze paint is? I have wanted do do this for some time and I have a little research but still I don't know what it is.
Would love to do this on an old table and chair set I bought at a yard sale for very cheap. It’s a cool old table that has a pop up leaf! Problem is it has been painted with old old paint and kids put stickers all over it. Is it possible to use this technique if I stripped this table down completely? Or if you have another idea, that would would be welcome! I wish I would’ve seen this before I did my bathroom vanity! I absolutely love the greys! Thanks for the great video and any advice would be appreciated!
Hi Wanda...you are probably going to have to strip a majority of the old finish and stickers off in order to have a good outcome. Try a small test area to help you decide. Thanks and good luck! Wes
Wes do you do the same thing to the frame of the cabinets ? I keep watching your video. Each time I watch it I get a lil braver to do this .
Yes I do...please watch our video on painting a full cabinet. Thanks
czcams.com/video/CXuH-Ffqkyg/video.html
Have you done the green with a black glaze yet?
This is beautiful !! When you use the makita nylon brush to sand. What grit is good to use for a whole kitchen? Thank you.
The nylon brush that came with the makita was rated 100 grit. Thanks for watching. Wes
excellent
Many many thanks
Just to let you know you can use stain instead of primer , then a liquid white wax. Looks beautiful
Thanks for the tip! Wes
Interesting.
I'm trying to learn this. Need more info. Thank you.
I've been looking at some of your videos. You mention products but not offering links for products.
Also for applying the painting. Can you use a Graco paint sprayer and using the new Green trip Fine Finish ?
It's been frustrating trying to find and purchase the products you suggest.
Thank you.
what products did you use? and did you make a video?
@@judymiller5154 just stained the cabinet door after the wire brushing. Then applied a liquid white wax. I did apply wax cross grain to make sure it caught in all the grooves. I used a gray stain. Any stain or wax color should work. Sorry I don't know how to do videos.
Thanks for all the great videos. Do you sand after using the wire brush (before applying the first coat of primer)?
No...just straight to paint after the wire brushing. Thanks for watching, Wes
I so want to try this on my 80's cabinets. The frames are solid wood but the doors use a veneer. I'll have to try the back of one of the doors to see if this works.
That's a great idea to try the backside of your door. I have had good results with a good oak veneer surface. Good luck. Wes
Is it a bad idea to use the cerusing technique on beadboard?
Do you merely wire brush the cabinet door to strip the clear cote off as well as bring out the grain or do you first have to strip the clear cote and then wire brush it?
I wire brush only...no stripping is necessary. Thanks for watching. Wes
Sincerly appreciate these great video's Sir. Yes I'm trying this out for sure but can you tell me how long do you allow the Primer to dry before putting on the Glaze - Thank you so much...
Hi....allow about 2 hours drying time before you soft sand and glaze. Good luck, thanks Wes
@@WoodworkingWithWes Thanks for getting back to me. The only way i can get this paint and glaze is through California Paint in the Bay Area in and around San Jose. Wow the cost for the paint on its own is $66.99 and they don't have it! Still beats having them painted by so called professional and most don't even know about Cerusing!!! I will let you know how this turns out eventually. Thanks again Sir
Can you attach a link to all the products you use in this video
Hi Wes. Have you ever pickled orange colored oak cabinets? I have read up on it but can’t find any videos.
No...but that's a great suggestion for a new video someday. Thanks, Wes
I have an oak kitchen table I would like to use this technique on. What would be the best final finish to use the would hold up the best and be food friendly?
Polyurethane would be the most durable. Thanks for watching. Wes
I have a black painted oak dark glazed desk and I want to lighten for a Florida condo… can I wire brush it and use white glaze and glaze it twice or three times over, to get a lighter look? Or should I paint it white and and then wire brush and use a lighter grey glaze, for a lighter effect?
Hi Kyle...sorry for the delay in responding. It is my opinion to paint first with a lighter color and then glaze. I don't think white glaze on the existing black color would give you the results you are looking for. Thank you Wes
Quick question is any glaze as good as the next we started with wax then went with rubio we liked to rubio better but alot more expensive plus we have to order it we have a Sherman Williams in town would they carry a glaze sufficient?
Keeley...we have done another video to show some products that are readily available and I am sure it will answer your questions. It will be up this weekend :)) Thanks, Wes
Looking at the thumbnails of your other videos it appears that only oak wood has a deep enough grain to create the contrast. Also, is spraying the primer a must? Again, it appears brushing or rolling the base color would only fill in the grain eliminating the depth needed to create the contrast.
Check out 2 different videos that should answer your questions. Thanks, Wes

I'm trying to refinish a golden oak bookshelf that has a pretty thick clear finish on it. Do I need to remove the finish before using the wire brush? All I'm getting are some pretty nasty scratches right now.
Hi Nathan...sorry for the delay in responding. Sounds like you are going to need to remove the finish on a project like that. Thanks for watching. Wes
Have you used this technique on navy or a smoky blue? I was going to paint my golden oak cabinets but this technique would not hide the beautiful grains. Thank you for introducing this to me!
Hi Kim..you are very welcome. We will be doing a blue color sample soon. Thanks for visiting. Wes
@@WoodworkingWithWes I posted this question on another video of yours, but wanted to know what you would suggest doing for the end of the cabinets that may be plywood rather than solid oak? I just bought this house and it looks like the oak grains on the side are a print? I would love to do my cabinets in either a Smokey blue primer with a grey glaze or grey with a Smokey blue glaze. I also found a retailer within an hour from me that sells the glaze and primer that you refer to.
@@kimstackpoole7060 Hi again Kim...this is a tough question. Mainly because the cerusing method would only work with real wood grain. Your vinyl print end panel would not accept the application. If this were mine, and there was sufficient room, I would apply a thin veneer panel on top of your existing end panel and ceruse that. Wes
Hi, does one have to be concerned with tannins leaching through the oak grain once the job is complete?
Not that I have experienced. Thanks for visiting the channel. Wes
Wes, would you please be specific about what wire brush to use? So far, I haven't been able to duplicate the look and I'm sure the brush has a lot to do with it.
Hi Brian...I purchased the stiffest wire brush I could find at the local hardware store. Nothing fancy. Hope this helps...thanks for watching, Wes
Question - did you sand between primer & glaze? Your other videos use sanding?!
Yes...I am sorry I did not point that out but I did lightly sand the primer before glaze. Thanks for watching. Wes
Ok so I have painted cabinets- if I wire brush over them as you have instructed then I paint over with same color that I wire brushed - than use my glaze and wipe off will the grain show up - after I wipe the glaze? I’m worried the grain won’t show up-
You should be ok...just make sure you wire brush enough to enhance the grain good. View some of our other cerusing videos for additional color options.
Thank you, Wes
Wont the wire brush leave visible scratches? It looks like we almost have bare wood after wire brushing. Isn't sanding equivalent? Thanks
Hi...the wire brush is not just to remove old finish but to enhance the grain for the glazing step of cerusing. Sanding only does not enhance the grain enough. Thanks for watching. Wes
Is there a reason you use a sponge with the glaze instead of a brush? Does one work better then the other or does it depend on the colors you use?
Hi Heather...I have used both and it is really a matter of preference, one works as well as the other. Thanks for visiting the channel. Wes
What would a navy blue glaze look like on top of the green? Or a deep blue with a purple glaze?
We are currently investigating some alternative products that will be more readily available with the ability to apply with paint brush and roller. Stay tuned these videos will be coming soon. Thanks Wes
Do sleepers need foundations?
Can I use a wire brush to strip everything or do I have to apply a product before wire brushing?
Just start with the wire brush...no stripping. Thanks Wes
Could you wire brush, skip the vinyl primer, and then glaze so that some of the golden oak that remains is muted and has the addition of the glaze color???
That sounds very interesting...I have not tried it. If you do let me know how you like it. Thanks for watching. Wes
Can this technique be done with any other species of wood?? Possibly pine?
Dawna...check out our video as we test 11 different kinds of wood for this process. Thank you.
czcams.com/video/iOH8RAJLKKs/video.html
Would this work on 1999 modular home cabinets? Not thick wood. Thanks
Jeanette...we have done a video on a paint product All-In-One Beyond Paint you should watch. I think it would be great consideration for your cabinets. Wes
czcams.com/video/qkcuOknMxqQ/video.html
How do you actually do the cabinets themselves to match???? Do they have to come off the wall?
Please watch our video showing a full cabinet...it should answer your question. Thanks
czcams.com/video/CXuH-Ffqkyg/video.html
What about creamy glaze??
Would this work well on Acacia butcher block I'm going to make a desk out of?
In researching acacia wood, the description leads me to believe that the cerusing process would be less successful because of it's tight grain. I suggest trying a small test sample to see if the results are satisfactory to you. Thanks for watching. Wes
Can this be done on a bed frame? Looking to do something really different & unique.
Hi Sandra...I really don't see why not, I think it would look very cool. Thanks for watching. Wes
A darker green and black glaze for a camo look
so beautiful and great colors! Thank you. Is it possible if I use only stain on my cabinets after sanding and apply the polycrylic protective finish at the end? If I want to use the same technique as yours, does acrylic paint works?
Kawla...it is possible to just stain after sanding, however, you results will be totally different. As far as the acrylic paint goes, i am not sure how that would work but try a test sample and let me know. Thanks for watching. Wes
