Wood graining by gunstock process
 

I just got my 36 woodie dash back after being wood grained by the water transfer printing process. It looks nice and cost much less than the old fashioned way. They lay the wood grain photo on top of water. Then the result is clear coated. Cost was $270 including return shipping for dash, windshield trim, and ash tray face. The place I picked was very slow and I wouldn't recommend them but the results were good. They neglected to wood grain the waterfall I sent them. I'll email and see what their excuse is.

Here is a video about how it is done although this is not the place I sent mine.

What was the name of the place you sent yours? Maybe some of us are willing to wait and others would like to know so they can avoid them. Let us know how the waterfall came out.

I know Julianos in Ellington Ct. does it, they demonstrated to our group, pretty impressive. He said the film used is quite expensive and some skill involved. Nice place to visit.

I think you should keep the vendor a secret. Not to be mean to other fordbarners, but to show you DO have a voice, and it says you won't give referals for broken promises. Too bad. The dash looks fantastic.

I think you got a bargain and I would not care about the wait.

So what is their name and address?

The only thing he said was it took to long but the price was great. There is one yet unresolved problem which I would like to hear the resolution to before I commit. If I didn't like the wait I would like to know the vender so I could avoid them. So I ask again, who was the vender?
