Rougherhead

Luke Smith Member

Does anyone have a picture of the type of setup required to make a "rougherhead" texture? I've attached a couple pictures. I've seen this look on lots of pine shiplap. We manufacture rustic mouldings and I need to be able to put a rougherhead texture on some southern yellow and ponderosa pine mouldings.

I've looked all over the internet but can find little information on how to achieve this look.

Hello Luke I hope your doing well, I would agree this was probably done with a wire brush. We have combing knives that would give you a similar look, but not exactly the same as you show, you could also offset the knives to get a custom look. Page 17 in the link below, toward the bottom of the page.They are just straight knives with the corrugation going both horizontally for the cutter head and vertical for the rustic look. Simple to maintain, you sharpen them like any other straight knife set.

Good Luck Luke in what you are doing, but a similar product can now be bought at HD and Menards.

I make Picture frames out of the Menards material. I can buy a 1x6x8 pine for about $6. The Menards material actually looks better. It has less scraping pattern.

Thank you all for the responses so far.

The rougherhead surface on some of the pine at Home Depot / Menards is basically what I'm trying to match, only on some different shapes of moulding.

I've tried some different wire brush setups but can't find anything coarse enough to give this pattern - Does anyone have a photo of the setup? Or know of any wire brush companies who might be able to build one?

Hey Luke, one other thing to remember is that different species of wood look different with these types of brushes.

Menards uses some type of fir most of the time, but occasionally they use southern yellow pine.

In the raw state, you can clearly see a difference. I paint these and then sand it off to give it an "old" look. When done, there is little difference.

I prefer the softer fir because it looks more random, more f*&cked up.

Maybe a flap sander with a head that has cut flaps on it to match your profile?

Take the sandpaper, trace the profile on it, and custom cut it on a bandsaw?

Have you looked at the Discotelsisal products?

Available from Tech Mark in AR.

One other issue/question is, what machine do you have available to run this on? You probably need a fair amount of pressure and power to achieve the look you want, especially on harder woods.

Your photo looks like the finish we get from a set of "rougherhead knives" on our moulder. We take an old set of knives and notch them about every 1/16 or so with a 1/16" cutoff wheel on the bench grinder, producing a series of small points. Sliding a couple of knives side to side will vary the pattern. I think rougherheading started as a way to size export lumber to avoid the duty on "dressed" material.

FORUM GUIDELINES: Please review the guidelines below before posting at WOODWEB's Interactive Message Boards (return to top)

  • WOODWEB is a professional industrial woodworking site. Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate.
  • Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question.
  • A valid email return address must be included with each message.
  • Advertising is inappropriate. The only exceptions are the Classified Ads Exchange, Machinery Exchange, Lumber Exchange, and Job Opportunities and Services Exchange. When posting listings in these areas, review the posting instructions carefully.
  • Subject lines may be edited for length and clarity.
  • "Cross posting" is not permitted. Choose the best forum for your question, and post your question at one forum only.
  • Messages requesting private responses will be removed - Forums are designed to provide information and assistance for all of our visitors. Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services.
  • Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.
  • Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.
  • Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.
  • Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.
  • Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.
  • Comments, questions, or criticisms regarding Forum policies should be directed to WOODWEB's Systems Administrator

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).
