Good job!
I guess this was a big weekend for prop building.

It turned out great! The pain job really sets it off.

Great Job!! This was also what I did over the past couple of weeks. Glad to see more of these for haunt '09. What other projects do you have in store?

That is an awesome paint job on the particle board! Great build too!

If only I had a truck the things I could do! I was in Home Depot today and noticed that full sheets of OSB was only $6. It has been amazing what I have fit in my car though, just never a full sheet.

Well done on the casket! Still collecting wood for mine.

I love the toe pincher style. Your paint job looks great too.

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.
