Sheesham wood look on Babool ( Acacia) wood
With restrictions on the export of Sheesham wood a lot of buyers are looking for Sheesham finish on Babool wood.
​
Yes, now it is possible. You cannot make out the difference !
​
Procedure –
Step 1
Prepare Babool surface by sanding with 80 and 120 grid sand paper.
​
Step 2
After sanding with 120 grid paper, apply Timber Tone (TT) with cloth or brush on the red portion of the Babool wood and leave it for 2 hours. TT will react with the tannin present in Babool wood, it will modify the tannin structure and make it similar to the Sheesham wood after complete drying.
​
On the light portion of Babool, apply TP1 ( Timber Protector) in ratio 1:2; dry and sand. Apply stain on the light portion of the wood as being done currently.
Do last sanding with 220/320 grid paper to cut the raised grains and make the surface smooth.
Step 3
Apply water based sealer and let it dry for 2-3 hours and sand it.
Step 4
Apply Acrylic Matt 2 lacquer or as per the final finish required.
