Cerused White Oak - Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C White

[@rubiomonocoatusa]

Love how this came out Shaun! Thanks for using Rubio!

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

Rubio Monocoat USA thanks! Client loves it

[@Phloored]

Looks really cool. I'm considering their fumed pre with Nordic White oil on White oak. I wish i could treat out so the combos! What you did looks stellar so I'm psyched to do a finish on a pair of floor standing speakers that I'm building. Such a cool finish. Congrats!

[@mattbowers5342]

Love the look here!

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

Thank you! Love it as well

[@dcwoodworks]

Mannnnn that turned out so beautiful!!

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

Thanks so much!

[@joshmcgowan4]

Such a cool technique

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

Thank you! It’s one of my favourite ways to finish

[@SISVSSIS185]

Job done perfect 👌

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

Thank you so much!

[@TheMilford]

what was used to get the black basecoat?

[@TankFitness]

That looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing. Do you know if this would work well with closed grain woods?

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

Well, I think this video shows that where the oil penetrates the more open grain in the cathedrals and such, where the tighter closed-grain does not take to the white. You'd have to experiment which is half the fun!

[@TankFitness]

@@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking Ooh, good points haha. Thanks for the reply!

[@tfwoodcraft]

This is really cool! do you think you could use less white on top and have the effect be a little more subtle? maybe use grey instead of white?

[@Phloored]

They have lots of colors. I think you can even mix em to get a custom effect and make it as subtle as you want.

[@ta1ntv1lle39]

could you do this to oak plywood?

[@sashaserdiuk3410]

Great work, Shaun! DId you water popped the grains before applying Intense black pre-colour? Or did you wire brushed it?

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

Yes, always water pop, just not shown in this video. No wire brush needed as this wasn’t a Shou Sugi Ban finish

[@meryam4745]

Oh wow! The result is just beautiful ❤ I wish I could have that desk though 😭 #greatwork

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

Thanks! Yeah my client texts me weekly says desk is still awesome! :)

[@sergiov8198]

Hello nice vid I want to know if you finished it with something or just left like that? thanks for the video

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

What I applied is the finish. Oil Plus 2C by Rubio.

[@Hayden_Custom_Woodworks]

I am using white oak for my project as well…Before you applied the pre color intense black, did you use any of the wood cleaner or just lightly wipe the oak down with water? What did you apply the pre-color with? Were you buffing the 2C with white Scotch-Brite and wiping off with a buffing pad or terry cloth? I’ve never used Rubio, but I have a general understanding of the application. process, I just wanted to talk to somebody who’s actually used the product. I genuinely appreciate you answering my questions.

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

Lots of questions! I love it. So rubio recommends using the wood cleaner, truthfully I did not. I used a tack cloth and then after used a wet lint free cloth to wipe it up and pop the grain. Then sanded it again and used the tack cloth again. I applied the pre-colour with a foam brush, you could use anything really. You'll want to make sure you get into the grain, if not you'll see the white oak peak through. You can always do a touch up once applied and wipe after to blend. I applied with a scotch-brite pad to work it into the wood, and then used a lint free cloth to wipe it off after about 5-10 min. Pretty standard process and their website is pretty good about it as well. Simple process and the results are amazing! Best of lock!

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

@tobin weiseman black precolour. Works well!

[@khaledelarbawy862]

Good wood 💚🌷.

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@neron1054]

How long did you let the precolor dry before applying monocoat white?

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

It’s pretty quick. Maybe an hour. But have to ensure it’s fully dry before applying Oil Plus 2C. So give it a day to be safe

[@anssc587]

Is that a wet cloth?

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

No, scotch bright pad to rub in the white Oil Plus 2C and then a lint-free cloth to buff off the excess.

[@mimistrouse1668]

What are you using to apply the white? looks like sandpaper...?

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

It’s a white scotch pad.

[@diannecialdea3010]

Can you use this on a new red oak hardwood floors.

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

100% you could!

[@Dan1bow]

How did you finish this piece? I am making a red oak table that I finished with black lacquer and white Rubio Monocoat for the grain. I want to put a protective finish on it before I use it. I was thinking polyurethane but I am not sure how the monocoat would react to it.

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

You don’t need to. The oil plus 2C is the finish. Nothing more is needed. I’ve been finishing products with this for years, no problems. You cannot apply anything else on top of Rubio.

[@hugoslavigos1682]

Let's say the pieces I intend to finish are floor fillers and are going to be walked on, would you say that the Rubio Oil plus 2C is sufficiently hard to resist wear?@@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking

[@jeffreylarose7805]

Nice piece!!!! What grit sand paper paper did you go up to before applying the Intense Black Precolor?

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

I think it went to 180 grit. You don’t want to go too high.

[@Two_Pines_Handcrafted_Heritage]

Can you ceruse oak vaneer?

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

I don’t see why not. Always try a test piece

[@allysonhoward2559]

Gah! So good! Thank you for sharing! I always have such a visceral response to Cerused oak; I just love how it is both graphic and organic.

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

Thanks so much! It’s very much a standout that’s for sure.

[@plutarchz9762]

Whats the oil do you use on this table? Cotton white or what else ?

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

I’m using Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C White.

[@plutarchz9762]

@@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking thanks a lot

[@jimweabrooks205]

Have you ever tried this to oak cabinets?

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

I did with red oak for a fireplace mantle. Worked well! Send me a message on IG and I can share a picture

[@brianp2707]

Did you use white oak?

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

Yes I did.

[@KindaUnLucky]

What black stain did you use? Trying to replicate this on a desk I built out of red oak.

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

This was Rubio Monocoat's Intense Black Pre-Colour. I think you'll get close to this with that colour. Not sure how Red Oak will turn out but worth trying! Best of luck!

[@poblano9757]

Did you replicated on your desk? How come out? I want to replicate this on red oak as well.

[@persefoneatelier]

😬👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@fordguyfordguy]

Guys isn't this just a glazing technique you can do with a variety of paints?

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

I'm not sure, I've never heard of glazing over wood. The goal is for the oil to penetrate the wood and seal it so it has a nice protective finish on it.

[@jafallica]

I really wish you would talk and nit play the loud music!

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

It was meant to just show the process. But thank you :)

[@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164]

It's called "Pickling". Don't care what fancy word they have for it now, it's Pickled.

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

I actually think both Cerused and Pickling are similar in nature and come from the 16th century. So 500-year-old techniques that have made a come back which is quite cool. Thanks for watching!
