Thanks, Matt. I'll be using your techniques to distress the 4x4 uprights that will frame in the sides of our restored 1891 fireplace w/woodstove insert and serve as supports for the live edge mantel. I'll share pics of the finished project.
Out of all the videos I've watched, yours is the simplest, direct, well explained and without hundreds of dollars in tools. Using this method for picture frames. Thank you....
I work making hollow beames every day at THE OLDE MILL in Baton Rouge La. Often times 25 feet or more. I do most of the finish work. You do a fine job. Great technique. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Thank you for teaching us, I’m building my wine cellar room and I was watching different videos and decided to go with your technics. Thank you again !
Nice job! Well done! Only question is what is the exact type of the first minwax layer? Minwax® Wood Finish™ oil stain, Weathered oak or something else? Many thanks
Hi looks awesome I’m about to try all your techniques on making a hollow beam . Can you tell me what wheel did you use on the grinder . Was it for grinding metal or more of a sanding wheel for wood ? Thanks
what did you do for the end grain? Ive made a cpl mantles. One from a solid cedar 4 x 8 and another made from pine 1 x 6 but the joints opened a little. I did Shou sugi ban technique and when it dried out from burning it opened customer still liked so win win LOL. I burned them both.
Just have to make sure your wood is good and dry. A moisture meter goes a long way. You can bring it down to the moisture of your area. Now for shou sugiban burn it before assembly. 👍🏻
looks very nice. however (at least on video) there appears to be a lot of yellow tints to it. what stain would you recommend for a more natural lighter brown appearance.
Would you have considered using a wood pre-stain conditioner? It would have prevented those very dark and blotchy areas and give a more even dye colour overall.
Thanks and welcome! I love French cleat for hanging items. makes it so much easier and if you leave your cleat on the wall a bit shorter it gives you room for adjustment.
Stand the piece up on end when axing and keep your hand behind where you are striking. I carve bowls and spoons and I could hardly watch when you were using the axe.
I cringed during that part, as well. I earned myself 7 stitches getting sloppy with a chisel (in a hurry to get to lunch break). I can only imagine how much damage that hatchet could do ...
You said did she used Minwax vintage oak as your stain… I’ve searched and couldn’t find it. I really like that color… Can you please check and tell me what the stain is called. Also, thank you so much for all your hard work. Your videos are very inspiring and I appreciate you🙂
You said the stain was “minwax vintage oak.” I can’t find that color anywhere. I’ve found “weathered oak” but not “vintage.” Will you confirm the color or attach a link for me please?
Looks great, question. I am restoring an old cottage and plan to use exposed 6"x6" beams as floor joists that I will get from a sawmill raw. How would you recommend using this concept on raw wood? It will come straight from the mill unplanned and of course, I will stack it in an open shed to dry out for a number of months? Would love to hear your ideas? Would you suggest sanding it first?

Thanks! Have a coffee on me…I just made a coffee table using your method…cheers!
I have watched several if not too many videos on making hewn, distressing wood, but yours is the most authentic.
You're great at this stuff, thank you for the cliff note version!!!

This was the best video I've seen on internet, no bs.. absolutely explicit,,,
Easy,, that even a kid can do it!!!🎉🎉🎉

Very cool! Im always open to lean new things! Any tips!
Amazing look! The best video I’ve found with technique on how to get a natural, aged look. Great job!
Thank you! Very awesome. Hopefully we can pull this off for the center Beam I’m installing in our living room
You can do it!
By far the most realistic looking distressed wood I’ve seen. Going to be doing something similar soon. Thank you very much!
Awesome, thank you!
Vintage Timberworks is right down the road from where I live. That's at least a $400 to $500 piece of wood you just made. Well done.
Lol why thank you!
Best distressed wood I’ve seen 👍🏻
Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you for teaching us, I’m building my wine cellar room and I was watching different videos and decided to go with your technics.
Thank you again !
That was exactly what I needed to know. Lovely video and well filmed and delivered. Thank you. 😊
Very well done, wide variety of tools creates layering of marks, like time and age.
Nice job! Well done!
Only question is what is the exact type of the first minwax layer? Minwax® Wood Finish™ oil stain, Weathered oak or something else? Many thanks
Love your voice. So relaxing to watch!
Hi looks awesome I’m about to try all your techniques on making a hollow beam . Can you tell me what wheel did you use on the grinder . Was it for grinding metal or more of a sanding wheel for wood ? Thanks
That is brilliant, thank you Matthew, any tips on ageing pallet wood boards?
My momma loves your videos Mr. Peach, I like em too.
That's awesome
Oh my goodness I love this thank you so much this is the easiest tutorial I’ve seen great job
Best tutorial I’ve seen. Ty
A true artist and craftsman. Nice job!
You said vintage oak but did you mean weathered oak? I can not find vintage oak anywhere.
Great job!! Looks awesome
So good. You are an artist.
Awesome job. I gotta try
I like it! FYI - I had used an ice pick for the worn holes. Thanks for showing the rest of the techniques!
what did you do for the end grain? Ive made a cpl mantles. One from a solid cedar 4 x 8 and another made from pine 1 x 6 but the joints opened a little. I did Shou sugi ban technique and when it dried out from burning it opened customer still liked so win win LOL. I burned them both.

Awesome video bro. This helped me out a ton
looks very nice. however (at least on video) there appears to be a lot of yellow tints to it. what stain would you recommend for a more natural lighter brown appearance.

Are you wiping the excess stain after applying, or just letting it soak??
At the beginning when you are holding the shelf, I thought it was a solid 6x6 post and you were insanely strong!
Lol. Yea not that strong.
Your work is amazing 👏 can you please send me how all those things are called that you are using to make those beams? Thank you
Wow... just wow! I'm blown away by how this process turned out.... definitely locking this one in the old memory bank... Thank you!!!
How deep is the shelf itself? Did you a 1x5 or 1x6 for this shelf?
Hey dude do u mind sharing a link to your grinder disk?
Super great simple video. Loved the shelf and the way you got it to look.
You are one talented wood worker. True artist !
Thank you!
That come out excellent, exactly what I was looking for, I'm going to distress a guitar body using this method, thank you 👍🏆
Would you have considered using a wood pre-stain conditioner? It would have prevented those very dark and blotchy areas and give a more even dye colour overall.
How do you sand it after the wire wheel without messing up the effect?
The best I have seen, nice work.
Thinking about trying something similar out on revolver grips to complete the aged look.
Exceptional Matthew! Thanks for the video. I'll take your approach on some pallet wood and maybe add some "smashed barbed wire"to it. Cheers!
Nice idea!
Looks amazing! I bet a little gray coloring wood add some "age" to it as well. I'll have to try this out. Great job!
I really like the French cleat idea for the floating shelf. Great work! Thanks for sharing. I subscribed because of this video
Thanks and welcome! I love French cleat for hanging items. makes it so much easier and if you leave your cleat on the wall a bit shorter it gives you room for adjustment.
Looks to good to be true. Can you tell more about both varnishes?
Great video with lots of good technique! Thanks, Matthew!
No worries! Thanks!
Have you ever done this with T and G pine?
What Dewalt hand tool were you using.? I liked how it cleaned the wood quickly and could sure use it?
Excellent tutorial, sir
Great job brother!!!
best ive seen great video matt
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much !
i can't find minwax vintage oak stain, is its still available?
Hi Matt, can rough sawn timber be used for distressing or does it have to be smooth planed? Thank you.
I’d like to know this too
Amazing stuff!! Well done!
Thanks a lot!
I’m attempting this right now, though I think I have something harder than pine. The wire isn’t digging as well, I think it’ll come out good though.
Do you sand the wood with 220 paper after the wire brush? How do you remove those little wood hairs after wire brush
Love the technique, how did you assemble the box? Butt joints, 45s, rabates??? Thanks for the video!
I actually have a video on the full build. but I used 45s
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! 😃
What kind of wheel did you use on your grinder.
Excellent video. Thank you for your instructions!
What would be the widest shelf/ mantle that could be safely mounted with french cleat hanger?
They are actually very strong but really it would depend on the material the cleat is made of. You may have to google that one.
Stand the piece up on end when axing and keep your hand behind where you are striking. I carve bowls and spoons and I could hardly watch when you were using the axe.
Very good point.
I cringed during that part, as well. I earned myself 7 stitches getting sloppy with a chisel (in a hurry to get to lunch break). I can only imagine how much damage that hatchet could do ...
I work in surgery as a Certified Surgical Technologist for over 17 years. Seen a lot of mangled hands. Like this technique. Thank you for your video.
Does anyone know what grinder wheel he used. I can not figure it out.
Looks good Mathew
Do you have or can you make a video showing how you join the boards for long runs?
What grit? is the flap disc sander?
You said did she used Minwax vintage oak as your stain… I’ve searched and couldn’t find it. I really like that color… Can you please check and tell me what the stain is called. Also, thank you so much for all your hard work. Your videos are very inspiring and I appreciate you🙂
Same here I really would like that name of the stain. Vintage Oak doesn't exist
I just did a search as well and nothing online about it. Wonder if he meant weathered oak? I’m curious as well!
Incredible!!!
Are sure it’s Called vintage oak? Because all I can find is weathered oak. This looks grate by the way!!!
I have the same question
Same here
Cool process
Is Ash good for wood turning?
Thanks man, really nice.
Glad you liked it!
Great job explaining everything thank you looks great
Thank you!
do you sand it at all?
Roughly, (no pun intended) how long does the entire process take?
So awesome! Wow!
Thanks!!
Nice work 👏
Thank you so much 😀
You said the stain was “minwax vintage oak.” I can’t find that color anywhere. I’ve found “weathered oak” but not “vintage.” Will you confirm the color or attach a link for me please?
Awesome, I have a look I want to achieve, this answers the texture but I would like to email you a photo so that you can suggest a color to use.
Nice one. What timber did you use?
That’s just 3/4 white pine.
Looks good! 😍🤩
Amazing! Great job!!!
Looks awesome
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing!
Dam that looks so real so good. I wish I had a fireplace to put that over.....lol. Can you make one?....haha. I'm sure you could. Great video. Thanks
Hey John.. Thanks! Im sure there are plenty of subscribers that could hook you up. And btw you could make this!
Amazing 👏
Thank you for sharing this! Awesome look!
Awesome video! Just wondering what gauge of nailer do you use?
Looks great, question. I am restoring an old cottage and plan to use exposed 6"x6" beams as floor joists that I will get from a sawmill raw. How would you recommend using this concept on raw wood? It will come straight from the mill unplanned and of course, I will stack it in an open shed to dry out for a number of months? Would love to hear your ideas? Would you suggest sanding it first?
How did your project turn out? We are just about to embark on something very similar and I’m scared of ruining the fresh beams!
Amazing
thank you for the video
Great video.. love the result 😄
I can’t find anything that says Minwax Vintage Oak. Are you sure that’s the color name?
great tips
Ty
Amazing!
Great video only problem is that Minwax Vintage Oak doesn't seem to have ever existed. Perhaps you got the name wrong?
Yes I couldn't find it either.
Dowel pegs would look good also.
