Interesting finishing techniques...

Mos Fetish · 6th July 2005, 11:29 PM

Hi

Anyone got links to techniques or pictures for interesting cabinet finishes? The type of thing I'm thinking of is that mottled, sanded thru look that you get when you apply different colored coats of paint and then sand thru the coats to achieve a mottled-burl effect. Similar to when you sand a car and end up feathering the edges of the top coats and primer. It can look very attractive especially if you have the right color combinations.

Any ideas?
