alright here we are again in the workshop I'm going to show you today how we're going to color this area here so somebody's didn't laid some oak previously on this georgian table am i going to show you how we're going to get this packed gone from this to to this alright let's get on so for this I'm going to use my pallet board here's a bit like an artist palette board I'm using a pencil brush this is a squirrel hair mop I think it's a size zero you can see row or two I think would be ample enough for this so I'm just going to it's a bit cardboard here and just so go away with in these pots is methylated spirits nets alright what denatured alcohol in the US and this is French polish special pale polish shellacked in the UK we call it French polish you'll see in bottles in America I know you like to call it shellac or a cup of shellac shellac dissolved in but it's French polish is amore French polish way so these are going to be the things I use as a medium to transfer the colors and pigments to grain this oak area here here we go I'm going to use to start off with it's quite a light area so I'm going to use a bit of yellow ochre I think it's a bit of burnt umber there tiny bit of orange chrome just might get that down as a base onto that that's - Orange - orange ewwww [Applause] okay so you can see I've got a base of color down here I've been very sort of quick help to squirrel general color of this oak and now gonna pull some grain through I'm gonna fake some grain through to help disguise this area [Applause] you you see I'm using the existing grain in areas where it helps if not I'm gonna have to make some granite myself but trying to use what's there yeah it's not difficult by the master on the break - not necessary said it once was cemetry I love trains antics trains we want to be perfect okay wash there you go so they're changing a bit depending what yet which angle but it really has sort of almost gone I can still see a hard line so it might be I can spend a little bit more time time to take out that line of that line which I might do yet but as you can see the grading process works really well I will do that as you'll see in the finished video but you can see what I'm using here it's earth pigment powders and spirit colors spirit stains spirit black spirit red spirit oak orange chrome is red LED yellow ochre lemon chrome another Oconee yellow ochre burnt umber burnt sienna tain iam white all of these cars are all colors that I'm using to bind with the pale polish the methylated spirits making a coloring palette palette and then basically using that to to grain away paint away in effect what we've got here on this table so I'm going to do a little bit more and hopefully the finished article issue will really be able to see very much at all certainly a casual glance like let's carry on right so I think we're there I think we're finally done so I've used my squirrel pencil brush or mop and use the natural earth colors pigments spirit color spirit spirit black spring oak French polish methylated spirits combine those all together to fake raining but really quite poor repair that has been done by because it was a split and we framed it away now what we'll do to seal that in maybe a couple of plants a French polish with pads a French polish over the surface which there will not back and wax polish with some of our ill boys antique gold gilroys gold but the antique gold will go on there and we'll have this as a wax table but I think I think it looks pretty good and yet again finisher train
