"Weathered wood" is one of the latest crazes. Not my thing, but if you have a "customer" that wants something here are some options https://angelamariemade.com/5-grey-wood-stain-options/ https://www.acehardware.com/departments/paint-and-supplies/stains-and-finishes/wood-stains/1694686?x429=true&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=CjwKCAiAhc7yBRAdEiwAplGxX-oARcGMAh1PEx58AivLHNZNTrdEo6x80qkU3YAukGr-fpMJD11uOhoC6aAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Or you could just leave it outdoors in the sun and rain for the summer. I have found some of the "barn wood from a Scottish farm" (really had one of these) and the like very susceptible to stains and splintering. I would often get asked, "I like the looks of this wood but can I protect it with 'a coat of poly'?" Well, yes you can, but it will never look the same. I'd always say (to myself) that one errant meatball, drippy burger, or spilled glass of red wine and you'd have a stain that you could not get out. And I had a few customers that experienced that. Remember the three objectives of a finish -- beautify protect (from wear, damage and stains) make a cleanable surface

Greetings all, I am getting into the barn quilting craze and looking for a source for wood panels to use. The local craft stores are selling unfinished 8'X8" boards for $5.99 and 12"x12" for $9.99. I was thinking about possibly using some veneer but I think 1/2" or 3/4" hardwood instead. I'm not finding much success with coming up with enough pallet wood or scraps from the cut bin at the local wood yards, any suggestions?

This is what I did a couple days ago.

On the way back from the Doctor's office.....was feeling good about the arm...noticed a sign that said BARN SALE///my kind of sales got out of the van....I could smell the rust...but where? Nothing for me IN the barn....walked around to the side....ahh...RUST! Only had $7 in the pocket....had to picke things over....didn't NEED two more Millers Falls No. 120 breast drills ( got one now)nor a few other things..... Hmmmm...a Minty Craftsman eggbeater drill? $5? Sold.. Cap was tight...only needed a little oil to get things purring along.. Decent label, even had a drill bit inside, along with the one they left in the chuck... Gear box has a Millers Falls feel to it....might be a No. 78? 1971-79? I think I can find some use for it... Twas a very good morning....

Apparently a new product http://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/varathane/weathered-wood-accelerator/ There was another Rustoleum product that we talked about on WODD forums, but lost that post.
