"Wood-Effect" added to print

Testing my print post-processing in the way of adding a wood effect. Heavy effect on top, light effect on sides. I originally messed it up, but it seems to have come out okay. I'll definitely be taking my time and doing it right for products. I only aligned the "grains" on this one, next time I'm going to try and give it a real depth of effect by making it fuzzy in the rear and front, as though it has wood fibers, not just indentions that go in the same direction. A good first real attempt.

Looks great, how did you managed to do that?

Currently trade secret. I came upon the idea when I almost got into another field of self doing projects. Try doing other projects that require you to think and be resourceful, don't skip leg day, doing other things that don't seem related tend to help what you really want to do.

Keep brushing on acetone to a print and eventually the outer layer gets really soft and takes impressions from the brush or exaggerates layers lines/inclusions. I found this by accident and actually find them unattractive.

Using a fine abrasive paper first and then made some scratches with a rough one, after that a little bit of vaporize ?

Very nice work there.
It really look like a wood block.

Interesting, using acetone to make wood like feeling.
