How do you get the middle to look more even, so it matches the stiles and rails? I like the colour, but find the middle looks too transparent and streaky. Also, was this a satin finish?
Looks like you painted them to me because they are all even in color with no variation in color of the grain lines. This is not for me. I want dark oak cabinets and still be able to see the grain lines darker then the wood in between.
What Lacquer undercoater do you use. Mainly what color. It looks either tan or off white am I right? Also looks like your putting on a very thin layer too.
hi i like that color i was looking for more information. i saw a video that used a gel stain color java , but its the same color as yours so i want to know what is the name of the dye you used well all the material you used the name and the brand ,, if its not much trouble. thanks for the video
Where can I buy that lacquer dye you're using? Do you know of a retailer that could mix something like that for me? What brand of lacqer undercoat do you use?
Having a hard time believing this was done in a day and a half, if you did both sides you'd need atleast 24h to dry in-between sets, not to mention multiple coats.
I don't get it . I love honey oak. Why would anyone want to change it ? Old dark ass cabinets are not for me. Painted satin sage green or white with the oak character still showing through is nice. Why try to make it look like some other wood? When Honey oak is presented correctly, most people are surprised. I personally like sage green lowers with a dark to black counter with green highlights and the honey oak cabinets up top, add lights, nice hardware , upper and lower moldings and pair it with a dark hunter green back splash / wall with cream highlights / features. The trick is to really bring out the oak and make it pop instead of trying to bury it or put it against lighter backgrounds. Oak is a high quality beautiful hardwood. Be proud of your honey oak cabinets. Don't look cheesey like you are trying to hide them. lol If honey oak looks orange and glaring to you, you have too much white / yellow paint, counters , and or harsh lighting. Honey Oak in a higher end kitchen is a rare thing these days, and that's a shame.
I have oak cabinets and giving them a new look is soooo hard. But I don't hate the result here, let me be clear lol. I find the color in the muddle of the pannels is off? I think?
