Now that you’ve mastered clear finishes and can make your prettiest wood projects glow with pride, it may be time to turn to a bit of whimsy. There are a wealth of “painted finishes” that completely change wood into something very different. They go from simple faux bois (fake wood grain) to complex recreations of quill, bamboo, and stone (malachite, lapis, etc.) This introduction to the art of making wood look like marble will give you both ideas and techniques for your finishing playtime.
From Michael's list on for woodworkers to expand their horizons.
