    I've seen this pattern at our local pine furniture store in Cape Town. They paint their own furniture on request of their clients. The owner of the store said that it was done with some sort of complicated techniques.🙄
    Now I know how they did this "complicated technique", thanks to you. I really appreciate your time making this video. Thank you!
    I will also get complicated now with my paintbrush. 😜👍🏼

    I love the idea of using a scraper to create a weathered wood look. It makes sense because natural weathering would wear away paint from the raised surfaces.

  • @MimiDidi121
    @MimiDidi121 Před 5 lety +4

    Also if you brush your glue in all different directions your cracks will crack in all different directions! That's a lot of fun too. And also you do NOT let the glue dry before you put on your top coat of paint. It crackles as the glue finishes it's drying process. You need to wait until the glue is tacky and then apply your top color coat. As the glue finishes drying it pulls the top coat of paint apart as it dries. If the glue is already completely dry there isn't anything going to happen to cause the paint to crackle! I've seen several people show this technique on CZcams and say to let the glue dry too and then they had to use their fingers to make the top coat crackle or sand it to see the bottom coat! I've got a piece I did a few weeks ago that has huge cracks in it and I didn't touch it! I used a dark brown and a very light taupe. It's gorgeous! It's 5 1x4 6' boards glued together. I'm making a headboard out of it.

    How beautiful! I love that piece of black wood in the beginning. You should the grayish weathered looking piece of wood that you used down the table. Can you tell me what base you used first before painting and scraping white over it? I want to do my night stands like that.

  • @deidredamone785
    @deidredamone785 Před 5 lety

    I have got to try the scraper technique! It's so simple and seriously effective! I didnt know that paint would crackle AFTER the glue has completely dried....That hasnt worked for me but maybe it failed because I used chalk paint? I've always applied the glue,let it rest until tacky and then applied a layer of paint over the glue and used my blow drier to speed up the crackle process. I am going to experiment with acrylic paints and allowing the glue to dry before the second coat. BTW darlin, your crackle process is NOT incorrect, as the comment below mine suggests...using your finger, peeling away at the paint before or after its dry or any other tactic that you have tried and tested and most importantly, if YOU'RE pleased with the final result, you have yourself a personal preference,nothing more . I have added my own personal touch to my projects after watching tutorials that worked for many others but failed to satisfy my tasteMy decision to change an element was successful and from what I saw here,so was yours!I think that you made a good choice to share your way to achieve crackle because you have proven that I should have experimented much more with my own crackle process beforehand .I wanted the tiny cracks and the slight crackle that was achieved here. I use my fingers as a tool,too. Saying your process is incorrect is incorrect lmao! There is no definitive way to crackle. If anything, using crackle medium would be more correct than glue BUT only YOU know what your idea of correct is and I am thankful for your tutorial, I have actually learned something!Thanx for the tips! I am excited to play around and make a mess!
