FOIX BOIS (HELP PLEASE)

Posted by Nelson Lasaosa on January 28, 2012 at 8:06am 2 Comments

I need to make a sample board, more precisely a worn, weathered one. An actual old piece of wood shall help, but tips and advise are very useful. Thought about making a few texture rollers since I lived far from US, and by the time I order and receive shipment oportunity may be gone, at least to make the sample for a client. Coloring the foix bois is of no concern Any tutorial reference on this, tips of any sort? Your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi Larry, Welcome to the forum. Very nice work on the columns and walls. Cincinnati is my birthplace, the old Saint Mary's hospital near the old R.R. passenger terminal.

    They have a little flex to them. I typically back fill them with concrete, and sculpt the areas between the panels. They make for a speedy, realistic installation on  bigger projects.

    Hi Jeff. I had a great time at WOC and I really enjoyed meeting you and the others. It is always good to meet the people you  deal with and put a face to the phone calls.

    I keep searching on internet, ferrocement work... but search ain`t fruitful as yet. Glad, I`m on the right track, sort of. lol. A roller would probably make a monotonous print which probably works ok for bark, not so original for wood grain, knots,…

     For a sample I would just make an embossing skin from a piece of old wood. Shape your sample out of foam or lathe and emboss. Do several at the same time, and present the best one.
