That is pretty cool. Seems that there are still some thinkers in the world.

The internet has certainly increased awareness of all sorts of things.

My great uncle Mike was a painter for the Rail Road in NYC. He had a technique of painting steel doors with some kind of metal combs that made it look like wood. He would tell me about all the work he did in the the old Penn Station. I was fascinated by this as a child. He was a medic in WWII and was at the invasion of Normandy. My grand parents on that side of the family died young so to me he sort of filled that grandpa role. I miss him a lot.

Bought my rasp just now at a flea market.

Your grandfather's work is probably what they call Faux painting today.

I have NO idea what a digeroo is. The guy who wrote the article almost named it for digeroo owners. I never would have read it.

Glad he didn't.

Sonny...if you want to try to duplicate your great uncle's work, here is a wood graining kit for ten bucks. richg99
