Materials:

1. Apply base coat and allow to dry.

2. Add three parts glaze to one part latex paint to create a top coat glaze. Apply topcoat glaze in sections (figure A).

3. Before topcoat dries drag a dry brush across the groove of the door (figure B) and flat areas with a slight wiggle.

4. On the inlay panel of the door go over the wet top coat with a sea sponge (figure C), using a tight twisting motion to create the look of burl wood grain.

Colors used:
