Course 1. Faux Curly Maple with Lapis Lazuli Inlay Box Project
I take you on a journey via narrated video plus eBook with text and image instruction, from choosing an object to paint all the way to final clear coat, and all points in between.
Curly Maple is one of the great faux woods, highly sought after for fine furniture, high end auto interiors and much more.
Lapis Lazuli is a gorgeous, rich semi-precious stone and this technique is totally realistic.
The inlay skills (aka marquetry) can be applied to any finish.

- Every detail for brushes, tools and materials you’ll need
- Project preparation: Priming, sanding, masking, base coating…

The skills you’ll acquire from American Black Walnut also apply to woods like Oak, Maple, Cherry and many more, making this wood is a great foundation for graining.
Walnut is a gorgeous hardwood, highly sought after by designers and woodworkers, so it’s a favorite of professional faux finishers and their clients.

The step-by-step process was as if you were teaching me one-on-one.” ~ Debra W. Faux Finisher specializing in historic home restoration |
