Walnut is perhaps my favorite faux wood to paint. Maybe because I struggled for so long to get it right.

Lack of good instruction is one of the reasons I decided to teach graining.

I love Walnut for interior and exterior doors, millwork and furniture.

The deep, warm tones lend themselves to many architectural and design schemes.
