Ziska Childs wood faux finishes


Faux Mahogany Doors

	These are 12' high Mahogany doors. The southern exposure ruined the original stained finish so this is a completely "fake" wood grain on the exterior matching the real wood on the interior. The exterior of the doors was completely painted out with sealer and then a5 step process (including UV varnish) was applied to create the faux wood.
