Halloween is fast approaching and there is many of us doing projects. here is one of mine. i decided to make a toe pincher coffin. it was crudely made to give it that homemade look. (anyway) anyone looking to age wood fast here's what you do. sand your wood down real good with 150 or 120 to remove any sheen. now get yourself a sealable jar and some 0000 steelwool and shred some up and add to jar now add white vinigar let it set for aleast 24 hrs or so. i shake it up evey so often. now we are ready to weather. boil up a pan of water. pour in about 1/3 water into glass and add two tea bags . ok time for fun. paint on the tea it does not have to remain hot. once the tea has dried start painting on the vinigar. the wood will almost instantly starts turning gray. there you have it ! heres my results.

Very nice.. I was wrestling with pallet wood that's been aging/weathering outside at work. That stuff is a BEAR to work with! Thanks for the tip!

leaving it out in the rain works too if you have a year to wait on it.
