Faux Wood Finish
 Fiberglass and masonite doors transformed to appear convincingly as wood.

.

These Fiberglass French Doors received a faux wood finish.

"Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing!"
                                            President Theodore Roosevelt

Fiberglass door frames and finger-jointed, primered, jambs all received this faux wood finish.  First a thin coat of Mahogany Gel Stain where applied and rubbed thin with a rag to the door frames.  After drying, three coats of Olde Maple satin stain where applied, dried and sanded between each coat, finally two coats of clear satin finish where applied.

The primered door jambs where first undercoated, thinly, with a fir colored flat latex paint.   Upon drying, three thin coats of Olde Maple satin stain were applied, drying between coats.  Care was taken to allow brush stokes to waver and show in the first two coats to simulate wood grain, the thin coats retain some of the wood texture as well.
