Faux black (Japanese style) lacquer: how do I create a faux black lacquer finish for a cabinet?
Do you think black spray paint and several coats of polyuerethane will work? I could also use ebony woodstain and then apply the polyurethane.
I want that glowing, thick black lacquered look.
The cabinet wood is common yellow pine. Need to cover up the knots too.
Yes, I think you have the right idea.
Paint or stain the item black then apply many layers of high gloss poly.
Allow plenty of time between coats. As you apply more coats, each will take longer and longer to dry.
Follow the directions exactly.
You never want to make a mistake when using poly.

Finishes For Your Cabinets
Finishes For Your Cabinets
One factor that will play an important role in the quality of your kitchen cabinets is the finish. There are a large number of finishes available, and the type of finish you choose will play a dramatic role in how your kitchen will look and feel. When you choose a finish, it is crucial to pay close attention to the style and texture. You should always want to choose a finish which matches the style of your kitchen. If you pick the wrong finish, you will find that the cabinets in your kitchen will look out of place, and this is something you will want to avoid at all costs.
One common finish that is typically added to cabinets is veneer. The veneer is a thin portion of wood that will be sliced and glued to various parts of the cabinets. Some of these parts include the doors, as well as the top and sides. The veneers may also be used to decorate the end grain portion of the cabinet. The thin property of the veneer gives it a large number of benefits to the cabinets. It will maintain the color and styling from the wood from which it was cut, and it can be cut into patterns which are simply breathtaking. As far as color, the veneer will typically have a dark cherry look. There is no limit to the number of effects that can be created with veneer, and your kitchen cabinets will have an impressive look.
The second type of finish that you will want to learn about is distressing. Some homeowners want their cabinets to have an "aged" look, but they don't want to wait for this effect to occur naturally. With distressing, the wood will be aged in a synthetic manner, and the cabinets will be given an antique look. It should be noted that distressing is a method that can be broken down into a number of subcategories. Some of these include rub-thru, crackle, square pegs, and wormholes. With rub-through the cabinet texture will have wear spots, and the corners may also be tapered.
As the name suggests, crackle is a technique in which cracks will be made in the finish in order to simulate the cracking which occurs naturally due to aging. Patina will be combined with elements that are airborne, and this will also be used to create the effect. Over time, these substances will seep into cracks, and they will enhance the effect even more. The wormholes are a finish that creates the effect of worms that have burrowed into the wood. The wormholes may be grouped together randomly, of they may appear as specific holes in certain areas.
The square pegs are dowels which will be placed in the corners of the wood. They may be round in shape, but they may also have a square shape as well. The goal of the pegs are to create joineries which have an antique look. In addition to the aging finishes, there are a number of other finishes as well. One of the most popular is the stain and glaze. After the wood has been stained, a glaze will be applied to the wood which is in contrast to the original stain. After the glaze has been placed on the entire wood surface, it will then be wiped off. The glaze will automatically be connected to the grooves which appear naturally in the wood, and it will create a contrast to the color that naturally appears in the wood.
The stain and glaze can give your cabinets a very impressive look, one that will capture the attention of everyone who enters your kitchen. Another cabinet finish which is quite popular is paint. With this finish, a high quality enamel will be placed on the wood, and the wood must be paint grade. Any color can be added with the paint finish. The best wood for this particular process is sycamore. Poplar and birch are good for this finish as well. The wood must be able to support the paint without allowing the grain to show through it. If the grain does show through it, the finish has been effectively ruined.
Paint and glaze is another finish that is generally added to cabinets. It is slightly different from stain and glaze, which it mentioned in previous paragraphs. With paint and glaze, a glaze which is in contrast will be added to the wood, and it will then be wiped off to create the effect. There are a number of other finishes that can be used to age the wood surface of your cabinets. The aging would look is very popular among homeowners, and a number of finishes have been designed to cater to their tastes. In addition to the products which have already been offered, fly specs can be used to create the effect of spatter marks which look as if they are natural fly specks.
The cow tail finish is similar to fly specks. The only exception is that this finish is designed to appear like a comma that has been curved. Dents can dings can also be added to the wood finish, and this will give it the appearance of wood that has went through wear and tear over the years. If you want to have your cabinet corners display a worn look, a carpenter can sand them to achieve this effect. Perhaps one of the most popular aging techniques is rasping. The finish is named after the tool that is used to achieve the effect.
A rasp, which is similar to a file, will be used to surface of the wood. It can be used in a soft or hard manner, and it gives the look for a tool that was used by hand. If the rasping is heavy, a scar will be made across the edge of the wood. As you can see, there are a large number of cabinet finishes available, and you will want to take the time to view them carefully. This will ensure that you get the perfect finish for your kitchen cabinets.
