Vinegar-graining was an Early American technique for disguising the humble native wood furniture made from pine or poplar, so that it would appear more exotic.   Some of my graining work is done on old boxes and chests.  The painted vignettes are done with artist acrylics.   For prices and more information on any of these pieces contact me directly at info@kristinhelberg.com
