How Can I Make My New Wood Furniture Look Like Old Furniture?
Using Vinegar And Steel Wool is the best technique used worldwide for Aging Furniture. In this technique, you have to follow these steps;
- First, you need to place steel wool in a vinegar glass jar for a minimum of 24 hours by which vinegar will dissolve the wool and create an aging stain. If you have a requirement of a darker shade, you can have it inside the vinegar jar for up to 5 days.
- In the meantime, you need to prepare your wood furniture by sanding it in order to remove any coating or stain from it so that your aging solution will adhere to it properly.
- After sanding, you are required to boil black tea and then apply it to the wooden furniture. It actually helps in darkening the wool & vinegar solution once applied to it.
- Then you need to apply wool & vinegar solution on wood furniture using a paint brush and you will see an immediate change in color and you need to wait till it gets dry up before applying multiple coats according to your requirement.
- After it will be completely dried up, you can use cold water with a rag in order to remove any residue from it and you can also use the wax coating on it if desired.
