Man, that is ugly! I guess you can make it from just about any species of wood since you can barely see it! Plenty of base stain, color in the seal coat, then too much top coat.

Thanks, I was referring to the distressing or rough sawing.

I have to use sq raised panel doors, I don't usually make them.

I guess as you said just get some rough sawn and skip plane.

Thank you for the input.

But was hoping for another idea on it. To get that look

Pat , I just completed a media cabinet and I needed to make it look rough sawn similar to your picture but we used the term Random to describe it .
I used a disc sander and made a jig to hold it so the heel would not come down and make contact with the wood because it would leave marks going in 2 directions.
The largest disc sander maybe even rent one will work better than the small one I used was a Makita like 5" disc bigger would be better .I could not find RS hardwoods from a circular saw only band sawed . It was easy and creative but very Random and not at all like what I normally build . Good luck.

Thanks D, that is along the lines of what I was thinking.

Maybe a jig that pivots the sander as well as holds it at an angle.

I was also pondering using a 20" disc sander somehow. Maybe feeding in the stock at an angle. But then I would have to build the doors.

I like your idea on this.

Pat , I tried the pivot idea but because the disc is rotating it caused road rash between the marks and actually sorta squigeld around out of control .
Better I found you need to hold the disc so the pattern is on the best looking angle to the wood . I moved the sander not the wood and just touched it down every inch or so or even randomly to emulate the rough sawn look. I then sanded to further add to the look and feel . I marked the wood before cutting to exact sizes .

You used an electric?

Was the jig wood?

Experiment with a cheap high speed steel blade like the ones we used to get with a table saw usually a combination blade but i think a rip would be better with not many teeth 18 or so. The kind you sharpen at home with a file then over set a few teeth and experiment.
I actually still use these blades when i want to rip some rough lumber that hasn't been edge jointed yet.

Electric Makita small disc sander and a wood jig to keep the disc on an angle and not allow the heel to make marks the wrong way .

just a thought ---

a buddy of mine rented a flooring sander from home depot in attempt to refinish his oak floors. the machine was too much for him to handle and his floor looks alot like that now!! LOL

maybe check out the post in the Shop Built Equipment forum here, titled Frankensaw. should fire up some inspiration

Thank Kevin,

That is perfect. Except I would have to then build the doors.

Which make sense. Just seems like less work to use D's idea.

Time to experiment.

The center board is pushed through bandsaw with resaw blade just enough to scratch and gouge the surface , the same with the outer boards but with a tablesaw . Those boards look narrow enough to use tablesaw anything wider I would use a disk sander . Then push through wide belt sander to ease the roughest parts , and a whole bunch of ro sanding.

FORUM GUIDELINES: Please review the guidelines below before posting at WOODWEB's Interactive Message Boards (return to top)

  • WOODWEB is a professional industrial woodworking site. Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate.
  • Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question.
  • A valid email return address must be included with each message.
  • Advertising is inappropriate. The only exceptions are the Classified Ads Exchange, Machinery Exchange, Lumber Exchange, and Job Opportunities and Services Exchange. When posting listings in these areas, review the posting instructions carefully.
  • Subject lines may be edited for length and clarity.
  • "Cross posting" is not permitted. Choose the best forum for your question, and post your question at one forum only.
  • Messages requesting private responses will be removed - Forums are designed to provide information and assistance for all of our visitors. Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services.
  • Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.
  • Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.
  • Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.
  • Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.
  • Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.
  • Comments, questions, or criticisms regarding Forum policies should be directed to WOODWEB's Systems Administrator

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).
