Thank you for the compliment.
The paint job is actually really easy.
you put on a base coat of whatever color you want. In this case I used a light brown paint that was left over from a previous project. I then applied a black galze over it (once again any color you want) and then used the below tool to make the wood grain effect. I did this on some cabinets in my house that I sold and it turned out great.
I used what they call a "Wood Grain Rocker" tool. I don't have a picture but it works great. below is a link to what it looks like.

I used the 5" wood graining tool
Hope this helps.

Thank you all for the compliments and all the tutorials placed here. My haunt would not be where it is with out everyones ideas and instructions.
