wood graining

Wood graining is a decorative technique used to mimic the natural patterns found in real wood. It involves applying specialized paints or stains to a surface and then manipulating them with brushes, combs, or tools to create the appearance of wood grain, including lines, swirls, and knots. This method allows for the aesthetic appeal of wood without the expense or weight of actual timber, making it popular for furniture, cabinetry, and interior finishes. Properly executed, wood graining enhances the visual richness and texture of surfaces while providing a cost-effective and versatile alternative to genuine wood.
