so I put together a small little project and the objective was to see how well I could age the wood to make it look older…..here is a small sleigh tea light with the aging finished……
You never stop surprising me comp. that’s cool!
Cool little project Comp56 without the candle it could be a tree ornament. You do come up with some sweet projects.
Could easily turn those into some badass coasters.
Nice job comp!
Nice comp. I like that aged wood look. Did you do the steel wool/vinegar method?

thanks guys, no actually I tried something far more easier and less messy and smelly…..took 2 tea spoons of lin seed oil, and added 3 drops of black rustoleum paint and mixed it together rubbed it on with a cloth and a second cloth to wipe clean worked fast and great result.
You know they have a blue pill now for aging wood, right? [emoji16]
Seriously man that looks nice. My wife had me build a couple mantels for the fireplace and she wanted them aged. I didn’t realize how hard it was to intentionally make something look old and random. Good work brotha!

Nice stuff comp and I like the recipe for the aged finish
That looks really nice you did a good job aging it
thanks guys, so I got in to this a little deeper and have been trying things to see how they would turn out……with little effort I managed to pretty much duplicate an old look …….same procedure but with a few nicks and bangs here and there, notice how I made the top plate look like three pieces of wood but really it is not. also showing you the bottom side that I didn’t treat……

Have a look here for some ideas, I use this method on my model railroad and diorama buildings. I know have more tutorials somewhere, I will try to find them and post them.
Dude, that looks incredible!
Looks awesome man
