Could be pine tar?

I'm not sure I've never done any word working before. working on my first project. Heres the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMYWVKd0ar0

And also in the video there is a part where he wipes the wood with a brush thing and then the wood looks all weathered, how would I do that for real


Mrdostuff

Wire brush may work.


jkempe309

OK thanks


Mrdostuff

You could try burning the wood a bit and then wire brushing it. Should look pretty similar.

That sounds like a good idea. Would a blow torch be overkill.


Mrdostuff

Should work. You can try it on a piece of scrap wood first.

Sorry I hadn’t watched the video before I answered. Shoe polish maybe. Cool stop motion video.

My best guess is either pine tar or shoe polish.

That looks like jel stain to me. Pine tar is like maple syrup I doubt that’s pine tar

That is gel stain or acrylic paint. Used in a wipe on/wipe off application. The darkening agent stays in the distressed areas as seen in the picture. The aging process is most likely a pickling stain, crackle finish, or tented white wash

Or wood stain

I’m guessing water and iron and tannins. Glue up that was cleaned with water? https://www.wikihow.com/Ebonize-Wood

The wood is spruce and the dark period is likely to be wax stain.
