Abstract
To simulate the appearance of weathered wood, newer wood is treated with a compound that includes the combination of a first part of an oil-type carrier, a second part of rotten stone and a third part of wax. A surface of the wood is first subjected to a blackening procedure as by burning or dipping in a suitable stain. The surface is then treated with the compound. Thereafter, highlights are developed in the surface by scraping and/or buffing. A somewhat less-aged look also is obtained by suitably staining rough-sawed lumber.
