- 1). Sand the piece with a medium to fine grit sandpaper; this process will score the surface, removing protective coatings to help paint adhere to the surface. You can sand in circles or against the grain as long as the final pass is with the grain.
- 2). Rotate the wood so that the grain runs horizontally from left to right.
- 3). Select a paint that is three or four shades darker than the darkest grain lines in the piece of wood.
- 4). Dip a dry brush in the paint, picking up a small amount just on the tip of the bristles.
- 5). Stroke vertically to create an uneven striated pattern. Use a comb or toothpick to drag paint on the surface of the wood, creating thin lines. Each line can run from end to end or taper and increase in width.
