(hey saw you over on Twitter) Although it would make it easier to get a cool looking grain if the Formica had a fake grain embedded... it isn't necessary. I teach how to get a pretty realistic looking grain with just a brush on my video. The idea is... that it's not going to look absolutely "real"! I teach stuff that's easy for anyone to achieve. I'm not all about wood graining tools and extra steps just so I can impress you with my expertise. :) I want you to be able to get the look you want without a lot of extra effort. So... the answer to your question is. Yes, this video will help you create a simple wood grain even if you don't have the wood grained texture. Hope I helped clear that up...

But the stuff I saw about painting doors seemed to say that the grain largely comes from the fake grain that is already on typical doors, and that the glaze is merely highlighting that grain. Is this not true? I'm ready to buy the video, but I have this nagging feeling that it's not going to help me much if the underlying surface is not already wood-grained.
