Faux painted mahogany burl wood cabinet

Faux wood grain | Mahogany burl cabinet

More painted wood grain, this from a home in Del Mar, CA I worked on in 2004. Its not the greatest photo, but I’ve always had a soft spot for this job because both the general contractor and the straight painting contractor, networking buddies in the local Christian business association, talked a lot of shit behind my back to the clients about how I couldn’t possibly pull off what I proposed, especially after I had them base paint this box for me in a nasty shade of pink.
 
After the third outsider to the jobsite asked them why they put such expensive burl veneer on such a simple cabinet, they started croaking a different tune– kind of like they each just eaten a whole crow….
