Aging wood with vinegar and steel wool 

After remodeling the back of the log cabin I had to age the wood using a mixture of vinegar and steel wool.

That's amazing that the wood changed that drastically with just a vinegar/steel wool concoction. I love it 👍 And get that cat a superhero cape already!

I literally just put up board and batten on my camp last year and was just talking to my wife saying how I wish it would weather faster, thanks !

Just try it on a small piece to check the color. You can water down if needed

Cool video Jerry. I've used that trick a few times over the years. Ole Archie is a mad man.

Looks great, nice tip... your co-star Archie trying to steal the show? Have you done a update on your garden? Thanks for sharing again.

[@logcabinlifestyle]

Not yet on the garden. It’s been kinda crappy in Ohio. Going to get back on that soon.

Awesome! I'd like to see the results of this in better lighting. Direct sunlight often 'blows out' images and you don't get a true depth of color. Just after the sun goes down or on a cloudy day makes for better images. Regardless, I trust this works and you got the results you were after.

So pretty 👏 bravo! Yes please on the Lavender videos 🤭

Howdy brother- I’ve seen where this has been done but it was on yellow pine and it was really dark, not what aged yellow pine actually looks like. I’m guessing they left the steel wool in too long. I’ve aged some timbers but I used a different method. What you did looks good. Hope all is well. Take care and God’s blessings to you

[@logcabinlifestyle]

Howdy Paul!! Your right about that. If your not careful with pine it will turn it brown not gray

[@LewisSkeeter]

I use it to dye leather black. It's called vinegaroon.

[@georgiosladas3106]

I tried it as well but leaves a rusty smell, bothers me a lot fo inside house use. Also I wonder that the wood is aging with chemicals, propably is weaker now to the weather when used outside. Any thoughts??

Now I need to know about the pizza party. 😋 LoL

I'm finding vinegar has many uses 👍 9:45

[@cherrypicksmixtapes]

Did you apply a sealant afterwards? Or does the vinegar and steel wool act as a preservative? Thanks

[@logcabinlifestyle]

I didn’t apply a sealant. If wood has time to dry you do not need it.

Have you got a front kitchen

[@logcabinlifestyle]

Yes
