GRAINING/WOODGRAINING.
The Art of reproducing exotic or common woods on existing or new surfaces, using paints and glazes. Due to conservation issues and scarcity, many classic woods and timbers are now no longer commercially available. Below are just some examples of the many Graining jobs I have carried out over the past 3 decades throughout the UK.
