I can see so many different combinations of color that still let the wood grain show through. You can literally take any piece of wood furniture and match it into an existing color scheme. I am certainly enjoying all these tips, tricks, and techniques.

[@BellaRenovare]

Yes!!! Have you seen the black base and white grain look!?!? It’s sooo cool!!!

[@richardjones8236]

@@BellaRenovare I am so new to these modern upgrades. I haven't seen that one yet. Maybe you could slip in a photo or two when you get a chance on 10 min Tues?

[@brandonhoffman4712]

You would be suprised how many finishes are ceruse finishes. Anytime the grain is lighter in color, its a ceruse. Im currently custom matching a wood floor, and its taking a bit of extra work matching its ceruse finish. But im a bit green on finishing wood and eager to master it! I just nailed the color of the stain using mixol pigments, i have my samples sealed in poly, and im about to go mix up some glazes to get the color of the grain fill. Im using only mixol pigments for color, making my own stain with 99% isopropyl and water. Im using minwax polycrylic (water based polyurethane), i mix it 50/50 with water for my seal coat. And im using sherwin williams faux impressions glaze as a base for my grain fill, mixed with mixol for color. Tools im using to get it done are a festool rotex 150mm, basically a belt sander and random orbit in 1 tool. And a restorer tool to quickly and evenly expose the grain with a wire wheel. My restorer is from rockler woodworking, but craftsman and black and decker make one. Happy trails!

[@OzzyMate88]

I'm a tradesman and a customer has requested this finish for their table. Thanks for providing very instructional video. I've learned a lot.

[@livingcreatively1]

I love the naked wood look. So this technique basically turns the grain from brown to white. I like it.

[@lindaguzman7178]

I've been patiently waiting for this video...off to watch brb!

[@BellaRenovare]

Hahahaha I hope you love it

[@barbarasmelser3817]

Absolutely gorgeous 😍!!

[@idavangrinsven1115]

I’ve watched this video a second time and I’m sure I’ll be watching it again to get the techniques cemented in my head. Loved it again and your music play list is relaxing when watching. Thanks again.

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you so much :) I am trying to find calm music for my videos, that is one thing I have learned in this youtube journey lol

[@carriew1644]

This an art piece that bright up my day.

[@sharynsherwood4652]

Stunning just too talented jealous🤗🇦🇺

[@saraaustin4240]

It is interesting to see that the table on one side has thick grain with knots while the other side is fine grain. Fascinating. You did beautiful work. It is a great way to keep these dining sets out of the kandfills.

[@lyndsaystevens9086]

That sander is my next investment for sure

[@BellaRenovare]

Girl it’s a game changer!

[@lyndsaystevens9086]

I’m excited for this!! I have a small oak table.

[@trishwilson7517]

WOWEE! This is beyond awesome! Yet another video chocker block full of information- the wire brush to deepen the grain is so clever! **Standing Ovation**

[@tonireed9058]

Ok, just ship that damn table to me here in Michigan!!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!!!

hahahaha done and done lol

Beautiful Crys'Dawna thanks for doing this.

Without a doubt, one of your top finishes. Absolutely amazing and beautiful.

[@BellaRenovare]

Thank you! 😊

[@lisaroth7526]

I have been researching this look for awhile, so I am really glad you showed how to accomplish it. So many variations are possible! Most of the wood in my home is some other wood than oak, but I'm really wanting to give this a try. A thrift store trip may be in order!

[@leahroby241]

Sometimes, "less is more". This is a wonderful piece. I find it interesting to see the "less" look is as much work. Thank you for showing a new look.

[@lincadmus4767]

Makes me wish I had an oak table!

I bet you could find on on marketplace super cheap :)

Great timing! Just last week I was watching videos to learn how to do the ceruse finish. I've seen this look using bold colors over very, very old weathered wood too. I just love the look.

[@BellaRenovare]

Yes the possibilities are endless!! I like the black base and white grain look too!! Super cool!!!

I'm so impressed by the amount of sheer elbow grease you put into this piece. I've never been a fan of the shabby chic look and this is not that. This is a high end look to me. Great job! Oh & don't you just love the 5 in 1 tool?

I have watched this video over and over and over!!! I love this technique! I’m currently doing this same technique on a table that I have had for awhile. It’s been sun beaten, rained on and I’ve actually neglected it. My son moved back into his home after a divorce and I wanted to surprise him with this table for him and his little girls. So, this is why I’ve watched this video so many times. I’m currently in the process of doing the sanding but I can’t wait until it’s done!! I’ve shown my entire family this video because of how awesome this table looks. Hopefully, mine won’t look far from yours.

OH MY GOSH !!!! I absolutely love, love, love this look. It's so rustic. Now you have made me want to find a dining room table and chairs to refinish this way. It's way to hot now where I live to do a project like this because I want to be able to work outside. (106 degrees heat factor). I'm going to be on the lookout for a set so I can do one like this in the fall. You continue to amaze me with all the different things you do and I really look forward to your future projects.

SO,,,, I'm literally following your instructions step by step. On A MUCH smaller scale. I have an old oak dining chair that I bought at the Goodwill bins for $5. I bought it for the spindles. I've taken it apart. I then cut out a breadboard from the seat. Let me tell ya, that sucker is thick! Anyway, I've just sanded it down. Now I've come back to your video to watch the part with the brush again. Thanks for sharing this technique. I'd never heard of it before. You get 2 BIG 👍👍

[@BellaRenovare]

Hmmmm I usually watch it back to make sure the volume is okay, I do voice overs on the videos and the volume is the same, I will have to rewatch it on the big screen to see where I can improve. Thank you for the feedback and letting me know I don’t want the furbabies to get scared :)
