How to Rainbow Finish Wood: Picture Frame

Learn how to create a dazzling rainbow effect on wood and create a rainbow tone picture frame! In this class we will review how to create a rainbow finish. This style can be recreated on most hardwoods, but for the purposes of this class we will be working on pre-assembled wooden picture frames. This look uses several techniques: shou sugi ban inspired wood burning, colored stain application, and traditional wood sealing. You’ll be taking home a finished 8” x 6” picture frame that can hold a 4” x 6” photo, as well as the knowledge of how to apply the technique to other objects.

Important Note: When using stains, there's always the risk of accidentally getting some on your clothes. Please wear something that you don't mind this happening to. Refrain from wearing loose clothes, and keep long hair tied back.
