Extremely well done. So many people show their pets, children and other things that don't apply making a 3 minute video into a 20 minute ordeal. You get right to the point and the outcome is AWESOME!!! Thank you. Jim
Great video. I love it that you show us in 3 minutes what many would drag out to 6, 8 or even more. Just enough on each step to see what you're doing. Thanks.
Good job! One of the few who have done this right. I think Varathane Classic Grey and Slate Grey are better than Weathered Grey. I think Dark Walnut is better than Kona. I would also use some nails with large heads and short stems and hammer them in for an industrial look.
You should also give steel wool and vinegar a try. I've ran a few boards short on a project and used this technique to fake a board or two. Turned out pretty good. Also works good with real barnwood on exposed cut ends.
You can do it any way you like. Play with stains. I prefer a brush not rag. I brush on a brown base coat, wait 15 mins then wipe off with paper towels. Now dry brush here and there with a grey over that. Smear it a bit to soften the look and let dry. Recoat with either one till you get the look you want.
I musta missed something… step 4 was to use dark stain… and step 5 was use a gray stain and go over the board. But the video showed you apply step 5 on a fresh unstained board.?
I'm sorry, but there's no way that step 5 with the light gray stain morphed into that finished reddish brown board you were holding at the end. You're leaving out some crucial steps. Care to enlighten us?
Project183 he laid out the idea of how to obtain color of old barnwood with the concept of how to age it. Depending on the amount of time you want to spend on a board, I’m sure at some point it would look more authentic.
No you are wrong. An old piece is half decayed and lacks the strength. This is even better. If you take care to do it right it looks incredible. This was just a quick demo.

thank you. Your idea was very helpful😃
I am a Japanese grandma who loves diy
I would love to try your ideas.
What's the best wood type options for this?
2021...No such thing as "inexpensive pine".
You BLEW... my mind!
Can you show us how to actually apply the stains.? Like, do we let the first coat dry then dab on the second coat or do we do both and then rub off?

well done mister. great stuff. Cheers from NYC!
I've met the guy. Super nice!
Love this one, really nice...
Hi, what kind of paint is it? chalky, oil?
Very nice but would really appreciate if you showed the process of staining instead of just a still shot of you staining.
What are the stain colors used? Were they oil or water based.
Summer oak, dark walnut and weathered grey. I believe these are the ones I bought
Varathane, Oil based. Don't use water stains. I prefer Classic Grey or Slate Grey to Weathered Grey.
Awesome, thank you for this. I’m going to try this on a table

Dear,
Amazing work.
Where can I buy Varathane products in Spain or in Europe ?
Specially the "wheatered" reference ?
Thanks
When blotches dark stain do you wipe it in before it dries?
Excellent. EXCELLENT. It looks faboulous! Other videos are kinda hamfisted.
Dont we need to apply varnish?
The Restorer will make raising the grain a lot easier, cleaner and safer.
Well done! Thank you.
why not just get rough cut?
Nice😊
Wow that looks phenomenal! Subbed!
And see my next video after my old lady doesn't like it and I have to sand it smooth again.
It’s not so inexpensive pine anymore.
❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍

It looks nice but it looks like a new piece of wood made to look old. Nothing beats an authentic old piece of barn wood.

True, but not everyone can afford to pay $8.00 a square foot for barn wood! I've seen other videos that the wood looks much more worn.
No you are wrong. An old piece is half decayed and lacks the strength. This is even better. If you take care to do it right it looks incredible. This was just a quick demo.
I'm 69 yo and don't have 80 years to wait.
Cheaper to use actual barn wood.
I have done very similar with Woodglut designs.
eh... looks nice, but not like barnwood, IMO. It'd look good inside though.
There may be a better way 😂
