Wood-graining instructions - Do it yourself!  From Mac In Florida -
Painted all 11 pieces with primer, and next painted a light cream on them. The first step was to take a 3' ceramic brush and spread out a medium oak paste on a piece of Formica, brush all 11 pieces very lightly, next, clean brush, do the same with dark oak stain, next, do the same with a light oak liquid stain. After all three stains have been applied, clean the brush, dampen it with thinner, lightly brush over all three coats, and be careful not to blend them. Let dry, and put a medium coat of Min Wax, clear acrylic satin 'spray'. Next day, do the same, 3rd day, spray on a heavier, coat, 4th day, spray on a heavy coat. 5th day, go over all pieces with #4 steel wool. You will be surprised at what you will achieve.' Successes if you have any trouble, just let me know. You can print this if you want. It has worked perfectly for me.
