Re: New old bed wood
I did a bunch of experimenting and found a formula that worked pretty well to age my brand new douglas fir bed boards that I cut and dadoed myslelf. I mixed some good old vinegar along with a bit of muratic acid in a jar along with some steel wool, rusty nails and a few steel washers. The solution sat in a jar for about two weeks to brew.
To apply the solution, I just used a shop cloth and did a very quick wipe of the boards. The etching/aging takes place immediatley and I am happy with the result.
