Thank you! The exact look I would like to replicate. I have tried just different colors of concrete stain but your tutorial is exactly the look I was hoping for! I am wanting to do a St Francis statue for my memory garden. Your instructions made this seem simple enough for me to be brave enough to try it! I hope you have other videos, I am now a fan 😊
Very Interesting video - Question: Never heard of wood stain for concrete but love the look - I'm working on tree....bark look and this technique would be perfect..........however, from Canada with harsh winters. Any idea if your method would still work? And is the beeswax something that needs applying yearly?
+CentralTexasGardner Excellent! Thanx. Just got my son an ornamental bird bath in concrete. Greek theme. Got some greenery to stain for him! One question. Really? You were prevented from demonstrating real-time the technique?
I am getting ready to do some staining after watching your video. I have a question about the liquid iron. Does any kind of liquid iron work? And do I actually need to do the iron before using the wood stain or can I just go to using the wood stain and then the bees wax?
I do not understand why some people cannot see the difference between creating or appreciating a nice piece of artwork, versus “idol worship.” To those who have a problem with someone displaying a Buddha in their garden, relax. Maybe that person just loves the beauty of the statue, and they are not necessarily worshipping it. Maybe those people should be worrying a little bit more about how they may be worshipping their car, or the money in their bank account.
oh my gosh . . learn to write English and then learn who God is and stop being an annoying idiot. Once you are literate then come and have a conversation with me.
Gerard LaSalle I watch vids saying there’s only one god... why should god be angry at us if we’re worshipping HIM but in different forms?? The original Buddha even said he was not divine and not a god. Smh u need to learn his life before coming at me...
Hey guys: Funny strange story: I was raised Catholic and my grandmother had crucifixes above every doorway and a statue of the Holy Mother in our front garden. When I was a teen and wanted to know my parents, I moved to the US mainland to live a couple of years with my born-again Christian mother, who demanded no "idols" in the house nor garden, but respected grandma garden. My father raised Buddhist, but adopted my mother's faith to be one family with one religion - When he died, I put a statue of Buddha sitting under a small tree in the front yard. This gave my neighbors concerned because a few mistaken Buddha as an Islam symbol. My kind neighbors mentioned their concerns, I explained Buddhism is not Islam and that Christianity is more closely related to Islam than Buddhism. I offered to remove the statue, and told them if I were an Islamic extremist, which I'm not, removing the Buddha statue would be irrelevant. My neighbors understood, but out of consideration to my neighbors, I removed the Buddha from the front yard and placed it in the patio - not because I'm converting from Christianity, but now that I'm older, I like to remember fond memories of my parents and grandparents as my children and grandchildren annoy the crap out of me. :)
