Introduction to Wood Graining Course - Wood Graining and Faux Finishing Tutorials, Classes, Images and Community

STOP struggling to learn this art…

“I’d seen realistic wood graining in Europe and in some high end homes in the US, but could NOT find any worthwhile training.

My clients wanted wood graining on doors, cabinets, tables… I could see many opportunities to apply it, but I just didn’t have the confidence to take those jobs.

A buddy showed me his wood graining work and I was blown away!

He sent me a link to PerfectWoodgrain.com.

This site, these courses, this teacher… helped transform my business from run-of-the-mill house painting to highly paid, expert decorating!”

I learned more about wood grain and colors from this artist than anyone or anywhere in my entire career in the film industry.

His instruction has been instrumental to the way I finish movie props that require faux wood.

I can vouch first hand that you'll take away more knowledge than you'll know what to do with.
Not trying to sound like an infomercial... just being totally honest! Thanks bro for all your hard work!"
