Steve - Ground Coats for Graining

Hi Fred,  Im reading a book on graining tecniques,

 and Buff is used a lot in varying tones as a  ground colour

mainly Wulnut on a B.S 0800 chart what would come close

Thanks.

Hello Stephen

 

I do not know which reference you are using but if you are looking at a British Standards 4600 chart then the buff colour would be BS 08C35, it is used a lot as a base for Oak.

Some advise try looking at polished woods and pick out the palest colour and when imitating use that pale colour as the ground coat.

 

Fred.
