Hey everyone, working on a lightsaber that has a wooden handle. Any type of paint that would be the best for a "wooden" look?

Hey guys, here’s a quick tutorial on using alcohol inks to turn your 3D Printed Props in wood or give a wood grain effect to your prop! Alchemy or not? You be the judge!

Alternatively, I have used a thin layer of wood filler and then used wood stain on it to get this effect.
Just depends what look you are after.
