Hi Michael

What I do is udnercoat the wood item in white or light tan/beige. Then wait for that to dry. I use oil paints - raw umber, burnt sienna, or any other brown shade depending
on the wood look I want. Brush in one direction onlym applying a thin coat, and you get a nice wood-grain finish. It's very easy to do!!

My German snipers' rifles were done that way, with different shades of oils. You can get close ups looking in the gallery.

Cheers
Andy
