How To Create An Easy Faux Wood Grain Countertop | RK3 Designs

[@RK3Designs]

rk3designs.com || Should I make it a dark, light or exotic finish?

[@davidaaatax]

I would do one side dark and the other side light. Make a separate sample board as exotic, would be ideal.

[@trisholiver160]

I love your exotic finishes ! The colors are so unique !

[@bg2608ret]

Very nice, looking forward to part 2, I agree with the lady’s comment earlier. I’d like to see you combine all 3 finishes, but which ever you decide I’m sure it will turn out beautiful

[@jelicazivkovicjovanovic9041]

This is awesome! I would like to see a combination of dark and exotic.

[@jessicagibson109]

These rollers are amazing. I’ve ordered several from Jenn.

[@Paula-po9kx]

Thank you Rhonda. I’d like to see a grey tone wood grain texture.

[@BuckarooCoyote]

Dark finish, looks so real!

[@kim99may]

So fun! I like the lighter with a little Rhonda teal touch.

[@blzafour4]

An awesome look…. Looks great!👊

[@melissadrey1287]

Hi Rhonda! I love the gray wood colors. I am so glad I found your awesome videos. :)

[@diannatighe-bayers1792]

I would like to see the dark with some exotic boards here and there in the piece

[@ericawalling2716]

Looking forward to part 2! I’d love to see shades of red orange brown and yellow. Where can I get the texture medium from?

[@ourlifewithoils3648]

Dark exotic would be my choice!

Awesome

[@jeannedinkins6173]

Hi ! I will be refinishing my kitchen countertops. Looking for a white pickled effect. Thanks Jeanne

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

That looks awesome!! 👏👏 I'm a bit odd, but I would love to see a finish that hints toward rainbow wood. 🌈 There are actual trees that the wood resembles rainbow colors. I don't know how functional the wood is for projects and I would hope it is protected. I believe Hawaii has some. They are gorgeous, but I've only seen them on video or pictures.

[@RK3Designs]

Oh wow. I’ll have to check it out.

[@Medmed-vr5tk]

C très joli tes creations

[@mariehocking9607]

Hi Rhonda, great work as usual. I am currently putting in a new kitchen with a light honey grain finish. I would love to see what combination you could do with that and exotic. Cheers Marie ‘downunder’ 😀😀

[@Courage2bwell]

Looking forward to Part 2 anyway the link can be placed into this video? Fun work

[@KristiSage]

Hey Rhonda, I’m going to put panels on our homes interior flat wood doors and I haven’t decided if I want a whitewash or straight up white paint. I’d love to see how you would do this in a whitewash. PS. Love me a 2 part series. ❤

[@RK3Designs]

Oh wow. Sounds cool. Let me think about that.

[@munchkyn56]

I would really like to see a light finish. I'm thinking white-washed for a "casual beachy" look...

[@jeannedinkins6173]

Hi I'm a new to you tube. I will be using a white wash effect for my kitchen counter tops.

[@wtglb]

I’d like to see a light finish 👍🏻

[@davidaaatax]

Ronda, what is the ETA of part 2? This may be the answer I am looking for my kitchen cupboards. I'm chomping at the bit waiting to see what your edges look like using MDF. My boxes are 3/4" birch plywood, the plan is to use a frameless design, and this would likely be awesome. Additionally, I'm thinking river table countertops in addition. Just have to completely figure out what I'm doing.

[@RK3Designs]

I’m in South Carolina until Wednesday night. Hope to be able to video it on Thursday or Friday and then get it edited. So probably by the weekend. 😊

[@teresagriffin]

Exotic. Question…. If you were to apply this technique to living room wall shelves, could you use Jenn’s Metallic Texture Medium? I have 3/4 gal and would rather use it than buying more. Plus, if you are putting other products on, it won’t show. I was thinking about tinting the medium. I need to end up with mostly black + teal, gray. Can’t wait to see the next video!

[@RK3Designs]

Absolutely you can use that. 😊😊

[@ameyburden8961]

Kove this I would love to see an Exotic finish.

[@ameyburden8961]

Love

[@ss-smith4900]

Hi Rhonda what is the material called that you use to put down first on the wood? I cannot find a link to it anywhere and i'm trying to do a faux wood look on my stairs. Thank you!

[@jessicagibson109]

Sorry I didn’t see the link. What kind of sander did you use for the edges? Thank you rhonda

[@RK3Designs]

You can use an orbital sander, but I usually just hand sand them so I don’t get too aggressive.

[@jessicagibson109]

@@RK3Designs have you ever done a cow print pour on countertops or furniture? I really want to do one but I want you to be the ginnie pig, lol. But if you have I would D love to see your technique. I am waiting for Jenn to come out with a cowhide print foil. 😀

[@milissahenderson7407]

can this technique be done on a cement floor??

[@lodziamarinareyesurbina3882]

dark finish 😊

[@leekestner1554]

Can you make it look like purple heartwood?

[@RK3Designs]

I’m sure. I just need to research and see what that looks like. 😊

[@leekestner1554]

@@RK3Designs It is gorgeous wood that is usually made into small things because it is so precious. Wyrmwood makes some gorgeous dice boxes out of it and other lovely woods.

[@BA-gq5ho]

How about all 3! Dark, white wash and exotic!

[@RK3Designs]

Now why you want to challenge me like that 🤣🤣🤣🤣

After sanding how do you get rid of all the dust and particles?

[@RK3Designs]

You can brush lightly or even use a vacuum. 😊😊
