Making Wood Grain on Plastic...

Hi all,

Not sure if this will be of any use to anyone on here, but thought I'd share it in case it might be of some help...: -



Andy...

Really cool. Thanks for posting this Andy!

Gonna try this one out.

Thanks for sharing, Andy. I use a similar knife method, never thought of the wire brush though.

Liquid MEK/cement is usefull for softening the scoring that simulates the 'grain' too.

Cool idea. Thanks Andy.

I use the above method, but with the back of the blade not the side (had one snap like that... painful)

I also use coarse sand paper, and on thin items I drag/roll a bolt thread down them for shallow effects

As Chris said if you paint it with liquid poly or similar it softens the surface to take a better effect.

Thanks for posting this up Andy.
