Painted Faux Wood

 

   Here are some great examples of painted faux wood ( faux bois ). These photos were taken at the Old State Capitol in Baton Rouge, LA.

 
  Artisans from around the world created this amazing faux wood over cypress to look like oak, I think they did a fantastic job.

    The entire interior is decorated with wonderfully crafted moldings, faux bois, gold leaf, stained glass and so much more.

   If your ever in the area of Baton Rouge take a tour of this beautiful building and it’s interior, you won’t be sorry.

   Each piece of wood has it's own personality which is a sign of a talented professional. Click on the photos to get a closer view of the different grain patterns.

Needless to say I was very impressed not only by the beautiful work but the enormous size of the project.

The ceiling moldings were all painted a faux wood finish, amazing!
Look closely and you'll see the gold leaf on all the rosettes.
The attention to detail throwout this buildings interior is incredible. Just think how much time it took to paint every inch of doors, moldings and trim.
