Looks good. The gray stain looks awesome. I use a torch and burn the surface before using a wire wheel. Burning makes the softer wood dig out easier and allows you to use a softer bristle brush (brass) so the scratch marks aren’t as obvious. Plus the remaining darker areas from burning adds a little extra age effect to the wood.
The dog chewed up a couple of our plantation blind louvers which are raised grain painted white. There are a couple sources for replacement louvers but all are smooth. I've been scouring the internet to find a good video where I can actually see the results. Best one yet! Thank you!
I loved this. I absolutely love the texture of wood. There's a local restaurant that I use to visit before covid-19. It has several natural wooden tables. I end up whilst waiting for the food, chatting but feeling the gorgeous wood texture.
Dork or not....You have more great ideas ( and delivery ) than many of the " professionals " that have tutorial videos. I am a " special effects " builder and you have just taught me something I have not learned in 40 years ! Thanks
OK. I thought I wouldn't be able to sit through a 9 minute video. My catchphrase is, "Get on with it!", but I really enjoyed this. The whole thing! You're thorough but not repetitive. I've even sat through a couple of your other videos when shorter options were presented because I like your style of presentation. You're very relaxed and I feel like if I was there doing a project, you wouldn't make me feel stupid. Thanks for that!
Okay, wow! Exactly what it was looking for. Can't wait to start working in the garage when it warms up to try the stuff out. Maybe I won't wait for to warm up... Thanks a lot. I'll check out more of your videos.
I watched this video years ago and thanks to you- introducing me to this wire drill type of brush I built a rustic headboard for my daughter. I stained it with Minwax red mahogany and Gunstock for multi color look. I wish I could post a pic here so you can see it. Ever since I've loved using wire brush on wood.
Thanks! I decided a while back to either just ignore rude comments or just give a reasonable explanation, be nice, and go no further with it. I don't want to spend my time or energy arguing online.
great video, straight to the point. Thanks a lot for posting. I'm making a coffee table and I've been looking for this finish of texturing wood quite hard, really happy to finally find your post, exactly what I needed to watch. Best stuff!
+Origin Base Awesome, glad to help! I've been trying to figure out how to get the weathered barn wood look for a while and thought of this wire wheel method. I did some research and saw that others had used one in a similar way, so I gave it a shot. Turned out pretty cool!
Really digging your videos and tips. I've been woodworking over the past four decades and despise the finish work part of it, but anxious to try some of your techniques.
Thanks for this tutorial, it was a great help in allowing me to distress a piece of furniture I had built but didn't look all that great. Now it really looks great. Cheers!

Thanks for making this video and taking time to explain the little details. it was a HUGE help in bringing out texture in the haft of a battle axe build I am doing.
+barb72832 I don't think I have a video of that specific finish, but I'm thinking about doing one now since the barn wood look is getting even more popular now.
Johann Theron I've tried Staaldruppels/chalybeate drops and vinegar on my project and it came out just fine. After adding about five drops of Staaldruppels/chalybeate drops to a quarter cup of vinegar, I was redy for the test. You can use it immediately and there is no waiting period. It gave me a beautiful grey/rustic colour after two coats. This is an alternative of steelwool and vinegar. Try it and make a video about it, please.
I just built a barn door. I'm a beginner. I had no idea what or how to stain my door. You just gave me some good ideas. Thank you!! Where can i find the Bristle brush for my drill gun?
This is amazing! As someone who is new to this whole distressing furniture thing (but TOTALLY love it!), you've given me hope that I can pull something off. Really wanting to do my dining table, very scared though :/
Nice!! also love the way you handle the trolls!! Folks, if you think he is taking too long to get to the point, please click on the settings icon on the video, set the speed to 1.25.
another thing you could do on top of using the bristle brush is to use a small section of small chain and hit the wood with that and in the dents you make use a darker stain than on the other sections of wood.
Yep, that's a cool trick to add signs of "use" and "wear". I've also drilled holes and even hammered tools and bolts on their sides to leave impressions. Looks pretty cool.
I build pallet beds and was wondering if you do this trick can you still get a smooth like surface for the headboard so you won't get splinters and loose pieces getting on the mattress?
I really need to know if I can use this technique on an antique piece of furniture with the smooth varnished finish and turn it into a rustic piece. Please please help me out, thanks so much!
Great idea! Reclaimed barn wood is really expensive. Plus, if you make this for your own home, it feels a lot cleaner than old barn wood. Where did you get that attachment? Home Depot and Lowe's sell it?
+mascottie Yeah, barnwood can get crazy expensive. I still prefer to use reclaimed wood any time I can rather than buy new, but this works great to make any wood (new or old) have that aged, weathered texture that looks so cool. I got my brush from Menards, but any hardware store should have them near the drill bits or sanding section. It was only about $3 or $4.

This is really a "complete" video of how to bring out the grain. I appreciate this kind of videos! Thanks

Dude, this is an amazing tip and technique. I’m building some simple blanket/quilt ladders for my daughter and I’m gonna try this. Thank You!
Dork or not....You have more great ideas ( and delivery ) than many of the " professionals " that have tutorial videos. I am a " special effects " builder and you have just taught me something I have not learned in 40 years ! Thanks
Great video and fun & you DO NOT talk too much! Thanks so much.
The lighting was perfect for the initial wire brushing. You can see the wood texture changing in real time.
OK. I thought I wouldn't be able to sit through a 9 minute video. My catchphrase is, "Get on with it!", but I really enjoyed this. The whole thing! You're thorough but not repetitive.

AWESOME tutorial....this is EXACTLY the 'look' I was looking for for my next project!!!! Thanks a million...can't wait to get started!!!! Cheers!
You're welcome. Glad to help you out!
Really nice job. You handled the first troll in a gentlemanly manner. Good go.
Thanks! I decided a while back to either just ignore rude comments or just give a reasonable explanation, be nice, and go no further with it. I don't want to spend my time or energy arguing online.
I am interested in making a barn wood wall. What size widths do you use? I was thinking about using 6" & 8" is that to wide?
I have been searching everywhere on how to texture like this, thank you!
Well, hey... awesome! Glad to help you out!

Awesome video, very clear and not boring at all
Perfect for what want to make. Glad I found your video.
Really digging your videos and tips. I've been woodworking over the past four decades and despise the finish work part of it, but anxious to try some of your techniques.
+troutbum61 Thanks! I try to figure out interesting, but still simple, ways to finish projects to keep things interesting.
Thanks for this tutorial, it was a great help in allowing me to distress a piece of furniture I had built but didn't look all that great. Now it really looks great. Cheers!
Thanks for the details telling the process. I now have many choices & know how to achieve them.
Outstanding video! Thank you very much for sharing!
That's a great trick on the grains.
That’s a Fantastico tip, cheers fella
Screw everyone who says you talk too much. Great video and information.
Amen. It's HIS video. He can make it how he wants it. If you don't like it, don't watch.
sure beats things being explained half-assed or not at all... that, and robot voice text-2-speech

You sir, are an artist. Wonderful job on your staining. The end results really look great!

Great video! Thank you!
Insanely genius! Now I know how.

I love the barn wood look, I want to do that on my kitchen cabinets. I will look for your video on that technique.
+barb72832 I don't think I have a video of that specific finish, but I'm thinking about doing one now since the barn wood look is getting even more popular now.

This is amazing! As someone who is new to this whole distressing furniture thing (but TOTALLY love it!), you've given me hope that I can pull something off. Really wanting to do my dining table, very scared though :/
I'd definitely test it out on some scrap pieces, but it's easy and the sky's the limit.

THANKS KEVIN...GREAT VIDEOS
Great video thanks just what I was looking 🔎for.
Great video
Hi
Can you make a video on layering different coloured stains to create kind of a rustic look on pine wood ?
Thank you great video
another thing you could do on top of using the bristle brush is to use a small section of small chain and hit the wood with that and in the dents you make use a darker stain than on the other sections of wood.
Yep, that's a cool trick to add signs of "use" and "wear". I've also drilled holes and even hammered tools and bolts on their sides to leave impressions. Looks pretty cool.
Fantastic. You gave me a lot of great info. Thank you!!
Just what I needed, thank you!
awesome thanks so much for this , now I CAN build my wall
This is super helpful! Thank you for sharing. Do you stain the wood before or after wire brushing it??
Any ideas of how to make a dark walnut or Kona type color distressed look from white painted panel doors?
Great Vid!!!!
Thank you 🙏
I build pallet beds and was wondering if you do this trick can you still get a smooth like surface for the headboard so you won't get splinters and loose pieces getting on the mattress?
Can you show how u did the blue with the stain, I never know how much paint to put on the wood, then add the stain ? Thank you for shearing
I really need to know if I can use this technique on an antique piece of furniture with the smooth varnished finish and turn it into a rustic piece. Please please help me out, thanks so much!
Cool stuff bro. Just subscribed.
Hi , just watched video and I was wondering what a clear cut oil is that you used on that table ?
Excellent video! I am completely new to DIY wood work. Can you recommend a wire brush that may work with a small electronic screwdriver? Thanks.
Amazing video! Great info! Thank you so much! You are gangsta lol
Great idea! Reclaimed barn wood is really expensive. Plus, if you make this for your own home, it feels a lot cleaner than old barn wood. Where did you get that attachment? Home Depot and Lowe's sell it?

I got my brush from Menards, but any hardware store should have them near the drill bits or sanding section. It was only about $3 or $4.
Love this!
Parabéns maculo muito bom esse método 😆👍👍
Thanks!
Good demo of creasing wood, have you done any boards where you made the ends look like the top to avoid the fresh cut edges?
LOVE this!
