Thread: Aging wood-Cheap and Easy

That turned out great!!!

Thanks so much for posting this! I was faux painting wood to make it looked aged and figured there had to be a better way. I'm so happy I found this!

Wow! What a simple and effective way to age things. Ive soooo many rusty things! I shall have to try this technique now. Thank you for posting!

This can easily be used several ways. If you have anything like tools etc that has rusted, soak it in vinnegar or a 50/50 mix vinnegar and water. Soak time depends on how rusty the stuff is. After soaking, half a day to overnight remove and power wash. It will shine stuff up like new.
If you want to rust an object fast, soak it in vinnegar a few hours and remove. Do not wash the vinnegar off and set the object outside overnight. It will have a slight rust coat by morning. Let it sit longer if you want it rusted more. When it reaches the right look, rinse the vinnegar off.
Another way to age wood is to boil walnut hulls in water, then pour the water over your wood allowing it to sit on the wood. Does not work as well as this vinnegar ideas looks though, this is a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
