'Frosting' or 'matting' is the term for a special sort of texturing using a 'froster', 'frosting tool' or 'matting tool'.
We've seen it used to good effect elsewhere on Woodcarving Workshops Channel.
There are different ways of using the froster, so do experiment first. You might even like to have a go at a different sort of texturing.
WOOD DYE: I called it 'generic'. I've had the bottle for too many years and as you can see it doesn't have a label on it. Essentially it's a water-based wood stain and I'm sure there's lots about!
PAINT: I used artists guache, gold and brushed it across the surface very dry, in other words straight from the tube without adding water.
FINISH: The final protective finish I applied was an artist's acrylic varnish with uv-filters to keep the colour.
AUTOPLAY on for complete course.
