Using this technique is a great way to recreate the look of Driftwood or a wood grain finish! This can be done on pieces that are not wood or pieces that have been damaged and need some TLC! We will should you how to do a "traditional wood finish" but you can add whites & grays to make it a weathered wood finish or to recreate those Restoration Hardware finishes we all love!



To learn more, watch our video on how to do a driftwood finish. 






How to do a woody, driftwood finish:
    1. Clean your piece with Krud Kutter, (Spray it down and wipe it off)
    2. When you paint, you'll paint in thin coats like nail polish. Paint a coat of Jolie Chalk Finish Paint in Uptown Ecru. (If you want a weathered, bleached look wood finish, use one of Jolie's whites instead!)
    3. Let it dry (about 20 minutes)
    4. Paint another coat. Paint as many coats necessary until the desired coverage is achieved (2-3 typically).
    5. Once the piece is dry, apply the General Finishes Van Dyke Glaze Effects. (For weathered wood, use General Finishes Glaze Effects in a grey!)
    6. Apply the glaze with a 4" chip brush in a straight lines along your piece. Then wipe back with your Suite shop towel. To create a more consistent look, use General Finishes Extender or Clear Glaze to create a slip coat that will allow more control over the wiping back process.
    7. Cover and wipe your whole piece with glaze, to your liking and let dry. (about 2 hours)
    8. Once it's dry, topcoat! You can apply 2 coats with Cling on Brush! Just let it dry about 1-2 hours in between coats. Choose a High Performance Topcoat in your choice of sheen. For a woody look, we recommend satin or flat. 
    9. You can use your piece immediately, just keep in mind it takes 30 days for it to fully cure so just be careful!
