Brown Glazing & Graining Liquid is similar to stain, but is heavier and does not absorb into wood like stain does. It is used to achieve various effects that may be divided into two areas. One is glazing which is an antiquing process. The other is "graining" which is the artistic process of creating wood grain and other more artistic patterns. 18th century cabinemakers were very good excellent grainers.

NOTE: The same graining and glazing results are also achieved with our Wood Glazing & Graining Finish which is available in various wood tones, clear, black, and white..

Antiquing - Glazing

The antiquing effect is very popular. It is used to add depth and antiquing to a finish. In the example shown here, we begain with a stock lacquer white cabinet door and applied walnut glazing to the bottom half of the door only. We left the top half of the door as original to show that you can apply this to your own existing cabinets. It is a one step process that can be used over both, stained and painted surfaces to create depth and age build-up. It is also excellent when applied to a crackled finish.

Graining, Swirls, and Patterns - Graining

Brown Glazing & Graining Liquid is also used to create patterns. During the 17th & 18th centuries, finishers commonly used this technique to simulate the grain of woods, say burled walnut, etc.

The simulated graining example shown here is cherry glaze over our Williamsburg Buttermilk Wilder Chair Yellow paint.

In addition to traditional wood grain, it is also used to create patterns such as star bursts, wood burl, etc. Various methods are used to apply the graining liquid that include graining tools, feathers, brushes, and sponges.
