well i have been experimenting on graining in the opb here is my work in progress almost there had to see what the opinions are thanks, filled with real nice 2 part non shrinking filler then use hot stix and knife from piano repair ( went to mohawk school decades ago )then used pearl and other pigments to grain in place... the last pic is upside down this is no trick photography

Sweet skills dude! Did you fill in with some clear or super glue after to regain some of the topcoat shine?

Than i use lacquer liquid graining medium and rubb it out, hot stick is a solid bar of lacquer, that i melt in place becomes apart of surface, but i still have to put in small grain lines

Is the hot stick a color like the white pearl color I am seeing in pic.

That is the best repair for the year man.

Where does one get "hot sticks and pearl"?

Thanks

yes there available in a lot of colors, (mostly wood tones )and you hot blend them to get the right hue then you add a liquid pearl and other colors and a liquid graining medium grain and blend, I have been putting together a theory for years and finally got it i think
