<p>Some of the false grain work is pretty cool. In general it is just like Terry said, but, sometimes the painter really went wild! Here are a few photos of one I did last night. I use Indian red for the background and a dark burnt sienna for the grain. This is then varnished over with a sanderac, copal, shellac varnsh per the original. This brings out the grain and protects the paint from wear. </p>

<p>I use a fan shaped brush for the grain and use very little paint.…</p>

<p>There is one original in Boston that shows this higher end paint as well as one of the Smithsonian Boucher's that shares the same type of paint style. </p> Thank you for the info.

<p>Thank you for the info. <br/>A video would be neat, but I don't mean to obligate you.</p>

<p>I'm doing one today and later in the week, maybe I'll film them.</p>
<p>The fingerboard is a chevron design, the peghead is a blotchy design, the back of the neck and the dowel is long stripes with the grain, the rim is diagonal stripes inside and out. Check the Banjo Database for colors.</p>
