Graining & Faux Bois by Henry Johnson

For over 35 years, I’ve mastered the timeless art of graining, also known as faux bois, bringing the rich beauty of wood to surfaces where it doesn’t exist. Faux bois (French for “false wood”) is the artistic imitation of wood grains, a craft with origins in the Renaissance, where artisans used trompe-l’œil techniques to deceive the eye with stunning realism. Today, I carry forward this tradition with a modern touch, transforming spaces and objects through skillful illusion.

My graining services include:

• Exterior Doors: I create durable, weather-resistant faux wood finishes that elevate curb appeal with natural elegance.
• Interior Paneling: I bring warmth and sophistication to walls with meticulously painted wood grain patterns.
• Ceiling Beams: I craft the look of exposed wood beams on ceilings, adding architectural charm without the weight or cost.
• Furniture Repair: I restore damaged furniture by replicating its original wood grain, breathing new life into cherished pieces.

Based in South Florida, I combine historical techniques with contemporary precision to deliver results that captivate and endure. Let’s bring the beauty of wood to your space—contact me to explore the possibilities of faux bois!
