You obviously are cheating by using such hi-tech tools but the results are nonetheless adequate. -- Russ

Thanks for the nice words! I was happy that an old fashioned product like Rub N Buff was still relevant.

Here is the toolbox for the front of the locomotive. Basswood, oil stains and Prismacolor Premier pencil freehand grain.

Outstanding work as usual.  Think I'll give a try on using Prismacolor pencils for wood grain on one of my projects.  Thanks for the tip.

It all looks great but that wood grain is especially impressive!

Like the others have said...amazing all around!

It looks like the darker wood grain is actually a smidge higher than the lighter grain. Is that for real? If so how did you accomplish that so evenly - careful pencil pressure? If instead it's colored pencil shading that created that almost imperceptible effect, how in the world did you do that!?
