I like the burn, wire brush and shellac.

1. I torched & scraped the paint on my 80 years old doors and door frames, 2. Then struggle with the putty beneath (sandpaper killer), (paint comes off but putty melts and sticks to the wood), 3. Then I worked like crazy with 40 grit sandpaper to remove the burnt, discolored, bruised and damaged parts, 4. I sanded 11 doors and frames with 80-120-180-220 grit sandpaper, respectively, so that the pinewood can be stained well. This whole process took me 6 months. Hernia came out at 3 points in the spine. The electric blanket I wrapped around my back to relieve back pain burned my ass. I had to lie face downwards for 2 weeks due to the palm-sized 2nd degree burn wound. The back pain got worse when I sleep this way. Countless sacks full of wood dust and possibly lead containing paint residues came out of the house. I had to send everyone in the house to stay elsewhere (will probably get divorced). And finally I got electrocuted of the dripping sweat from my arm into the angle grinder. BUT; in the end resulting wood was smooth, shadeless and completely free of defects as if it had just come from a carpenter's hand. And now I'm watching this: 2:07

Thank you so much for showing us your experiments. This definitely inspired me!

Really loved this. Thank you for sharing!

really like that green one, was surprisingly colorful

My Favorite one Burned wood & ShellAC ... Nice video thank you for sharing

I never comment on videos, but I have to tell you that this was outstanding! I loved all the examples and appreciate you so much for putting this together! Can't wait to try a few myself on a recent rustic bedframe I'm making.

Doing a project and I'm gonna go with the burn/brush/shellac. Never would've thought of doing that. Thanks a lot for taking the time and doing the video, awesome job.

That was an Awesome teaching video ! Thanks..

This video will serve as my reference video on aging my projects. Thanks for taking the time.

These are so great. Can't wait to try out a few of these.

Thanks for the experiments. Definitely getting ideas from this.

Outstanding Video!! Thank you! Just built a 16x16 cabin and am doing the entire inside with pine and wanted to do some distressed looks to some of the boards. Love all of these! The green tea was crazy! Thanks again!

You ROCK Patrick...really appreciate you demonstrations. I'm excited to try one or more of them...even the green tea!

Well done.

Thank you for the video

great video!

awesome video! Very helpful so thank you.

I like people who experiment, rather than following convention. For me the scorched wood/wire brush/shellac was a clear winner, but I guess it depends where you're starting from, and what you're trying to achieve.

Thank You So Very Much for doing this 😃

I would like to see a 1 min video of your fav one and this process in detail. I think it would be a big hit...

Nice work!

THE GREEN TEA! Thank you! I've been trying to come up with an idea to do a wood look on a wall in my bathroom and trying to somehow incorporate green hues into the colour scheme of the whole room. This would look stunning! I might even try to do an ombre look with them.

That matcha blew my mind, definitely gonna try that. I also loved the baking Soda, which also surprised me

Love this thank u

Have done a shelf with the while vinegar n steel wool trick n it turned out great. It gives an aged look, was really surprised

I agree with No Inclined with the burn, wire brush and shellac look. I priced premade driftwood looking shelving and almost had a heart attach at the price of one shelf. I'm planning to make my own. Thanks again for the wood aging ideas you have saved me a lot of time. I would like to know what grade of white pine to purchase?

I really liked the burned one , I think you could really make anything look nice with any of the wood even the green one, it really surprised me . It helped me to make something for my granddaughter, thank you so much, for sharing with us.👍👍😊

Agree with Ginna. All the examples were helpful. Smaller pieces, I usually bang the wood around and rub it with dirt, rocks and so on. But I've got a big project ahead of me, and am having trouble locating adequate amount of (real) weathered wood to complete it. So it's time to head to the workshop and put a few of your ideas into practice. Again, thanks. And the puppet thing is totally cool...

well done! 🙂

green tea is the winner simple and it looks amazing

good stuff

Thanks for sharing..

Do you have a tutorial video for vinegar and steel wool mixture ? And thank you for this video I was eagerly finding a similar finish . Great work !

really loving the diluted acrylic wash, perfect for a mirror frame re-vamp! thanks for the idea

Wow, what a beautiful video and concepts here, creativity its his sailing ship !!

Having built antiques for years, I found gravel worked great to patina wood and used a mixture of roofing tar (we called black um) ,but one of my bosses got a chemical that looked like tang mixed with water aged new oak 200 yrs,but I don’t know it’s name.

I like the baking soda treatment

Thnx. A few i havent tried. I also ise a mix of old motor oil and deisel 50/50 which looks good but takes a week to stop smelling but i just leave it outside in the weather. Rain or not.

Awesome puppet!

Thats pretty neat. I think the steel wool and shellac turned out the best by far. Ive seen other videos where they used rusty nails and vinegar for a neat effect as well.

Seen in other videos that pine doesn't really have much in the way of tannins so the color changes won't be as drastic as say cedar.

Green one is unique. I like the coffee one 2

I really love the color of the instant coffee stain. Could you provide details on what type of coffee you used and how you prepared? Much appreciated!

Also, thank you for explaining why you're using the wire brush.

Thanks for the video! I’m having an issue with barn wood that I cut and clean, it takes out the aged look, so I have to figure out how to age it again.

acrylic paint is an addicting sport th4 possibilities are endless

I'm sorry if you gave this information and I missed it....did you use the wire brush on all the distressed boards before you applied the different stains/effects? I really like the steel wool, vinegar and shellac. Does the type of shellac make a difference? Thank you for this great video and I look forward to your reply.

Hi Patrick, thanks for the info. Sometime this summer I'll be making some faux old timber beams for the lounge area in my shop (yes, my barn has a lounge ) I don't know what type of wood or how I will finish it, all I know is I want old brownish/grayish weathered rough looking wood, when I get to that point I'll give you a shout-out.Thanks for sharing.

Nice

Hi try it with tea But tea in a jar with hot water keep it for few days it well give beautiful brown

Thanks Patrick! I'm curious how the Matcha Tea stain aged over time. Did the wood keep that nice bright green color?

an final overview of what's what would be nice

Good. I suggest adding hydrogen peroxide to the steel vinegar solution while the steel is still in it. This will rust the steel and add a beautiful terracotta/rust tint to the aging.

What's best if I want framing lumber to look more like it's been in a house for 30 years and not replaced recently? Not weathered, but not new like the first guy out on a beach who never had any sun when everyone else had a tan

I wonder what would happen if you did the baking soda and the coffee one together that might be interesting

On the final image, what is the technique for the 2nd, the 4th and the 11th please ?

Great video! I have a question about the vinegar stain can you do many coats to get darker or should i do black tea first

Great video. Very informative but I do have a question....I like the distressed vinegar/steel wool and Garnet shellac combo the best, but doesn't Garnet shellac produce a reddish color? On my screen your example appears to be grayish, which is the look I'm going for.

To me, only the experiment #1 (6:55) and #3 (7:45) achieved the "aged wood" look. Good job

Great vid, and especially loved the green tea! Whodathunkit! A question: have you ever tried a strong steelwool + vinegar first stain, and then another color, such as crimson, as the 2nd stain? If you feel like trying a few of those combos I'd love to see how they come out! tnx

Hello!!! First. Thank you for this great video! But at the end of the video you show 16 results. The thing is that I followed all the techniques along the video and you only shown 14 techniques! (The 2 results that appears on top right in the last scene are missing... no techniques shown on those... and those are really cool ones! Am I missing something, how were those made??) thank you for this amazing video

I love the green tea results. What green tea did you use? A paste? Tea bag? Any info would be great. Thank you.

Your aging wood was very good, went by a little to fast, had to keep repeating the info. Thanks

Hi, great unique ways to make wood old. I have white painted kitchen cabinets and wanted to do a chippy look. I did purchase some chalk paint, glazes, waxes etc. Yet I am restricted as they have been painted. I am having some success with glazing but wanted to have a more aged or beaten up look; besides sanding them down to the wood, any suggestions?

Is that muppet based on Red Green from the Canadian Red Green Show? Henson himself would be proud!

I need to perfect an aging process to match some really old wood that is quite possibly over 100 years old. I've never seen old wood get dark and look stained like some of your experiments. Besides distressing the wood with various implements, I'm thinking more along the lines of some sort of acid treatment followed by bleach, then maybe some sand blasting. I'm also thinking to further distress the wood I''ll ship it UPS across the United states a few times. ;)

I’m trying to figure out how to match some old pew ends. My dad made the bench part for me. We dug some really old wide boards out that had been wrapped in plastic in a barn. We thought they were oak but the were pine and they have tons of worm holes. After planing them they are bright white. He joined then together for seat a back. Worm holes are on the back operation and they are joined so well that they almost look like plywood. I want to make holes look dark and more like deep grains. The old pew sides are tons of grains running vertically. Just having a hard time figuring out what method to use. I just want to clear coat dudes but the rest needs some deepening and aging not sure which if your methods would do that for worm holes?? Have you tried any dark wax or antiquing gels?? I’m wondering if I should try that on the holes to make them dark. They ate more like gauges than actual holes

Awesome! QUESTION: in the very beginning when you cut the boards, what tools are you using to beat them up?? (it's fast, so i can't quite tell). Thanks!

What is that shellac? Burned brushed and with shellac look the best i've ever seen.

I'm sooo using green tea on a table top. Thats gorgeous. Does anyone know if the bond is strong? Is the wood stained or would i need to seal it?

What kind of shellac is that? Looks dark for clear or amber

just hate those naughty boards! ;-)

Lmaooo nice puppet

Good techniques. Saved me messing about testing some. Quick question. Would you still wear that tshirt today? 😂😂😂

have tried to get aged walnut wood using vinegar and steel wool mesh but did not get the brownish color. it was grayish instead. do you recommend the same steel wool mesh and vinegar plus a few drops of dark brown liquid to add into the mix ? Appreciate your feedback on this

The go to for this is always the steel wool & vinegar.

Suggestion: at the end, you show all the boards side by side, but they are not labeled, so it's hard to know which is which.

Is the vinegar/steel wool + the garnet shellac sanded both before and after the shellac ? Any wire brushing ? I have never worked with shellac and this is the first time I have seen the exact look I want in a piece online.

Weed eater works great for random marks.

Hello, which one was the very last one you picked up during the last part when they were all laid on the table please?

where can i buy the shellac? thanks very nice video

Worth watching for the music alone!

I made my gun stock black unintentionally, I used steel wool and vinegar and rubbing alcohol to remove the old finish but it turned black, how can I get rid of black stain? Thanks

Experiment #1 is my favorite but I don't get it. In a jar, you soak steel wool and vinegar. Apply, then next time you see it, it's brown? then Garnet shellac and then it's gray? How did it turn grey?

What is the 2nd from the left, top row?

If you want an authentic old distressed look, you might consider sanding off the planer marks.. amateurish and phony otherwise. To stop the blotching, first rub on paint thinner or equivalent and let soak for awhile. This will then be the hiway for the "danish" oil to penetrate uniformly.

How was the green tea created?

shoe polish is great...

DEBE SER TRADUCIDO AL ESPAÑOL .

Wonder if this channel was an influence for crafsman...

what does shellac mean? thx

My brother, now deceased, built movie sets in Hollywood. They had a method to age wood almost instantly using a fertilizer compound. Unfortunately I don’t remember the specific compound (maybe iron oxide?). I’m trying to find that recipe...

More puppet please...

Dude no a puppet… 😐😩🤣

Gotta burn that wood.

Thats Way too much information for the average you tuber audience

I do like me some variety 👍

The green tea looks amazing! What brand did you use...and in what concentration?
