GoonMan has a little shameless behaviour in the past


Thanks all.


Yep I like the Ideal of taking old wood or even new wood and making it look old.

I came across the Ideal of Liquid Iron either here or on another wood Forum.

I took OOOO Steel wool and put it in a Large Plastic Peanut Butter jar and then filled it with Vinegar. I did some tests on old wood and after a few hours I noticed a change in Color. So I let it set for several days but it still works after a few hours and even better after 24 hours.

I just used a Paint brush and put it on the wood or poured it on then spread it with the brush. The only thing you have to be careful about is that you do not put the brush in the container after putting it on the wood or it will make your stain darker.

I used a seperate Container from my seaping Wool and Vinegar. I also did some experimenting on Different woods. Some will strain the steel wool out I was not worried about it since this is going outside. The more tannin a wood has the darker it will get. Home made stain and it is cheap and cleans up with water. LOL

No problem in you sharing info terry it helps us all.


I must admit that it only cost me about 8 Dollars to make the table. Since the Fencing I had since last year. I think I paid under 2.00 each for it. I will need to get more. LOL

PopPop I believe this will work on the barn wood. You may have to trial some to see what kind of Color change you will get.
