Supplies
XPS foam
A stiff wire brush
Pliers
A dull tipped pencil
A rough rock
Acrylic paints

Using the wire brush you can then scrape the wood grains horizontally along the foam. Press lightly at first, making thin, soft grains, then press harder for a few deeper grains. Finally using the dull pencil again make a few slightly curvy lines along the board. You can also add a few knots and swirls into it as well, all the while following the grain. Read More...
