In this Skill Builder, learn to create custom wood textures from you own photos, and then how to apply those textures in efficient ways.
Experimenting in woodworking software or cabinet design software is a lot less expensive than experimenting in the shop. Use SketchUp to visualize as many designs as you like without wasting a single piece of wood. Make sure your idea is possible and get any mistakes out of the way in SketchUp before you head to the hardware store.
