One piece of 0000 steel wool, glass bottle and vinegar. I picked the easiest one and gave it a shot. I did a little google searcharoo and found a few how-to’s to gray wood. I decided to sand it down and seal it because i want the top to get even more beat up – i didn’t want glass or anything on top. I loved how the table looked prior to sanding, and i wanted that same old gray weathered look back. I sanded down my craft table with a palm sander to get all the potential slivers away and i was left with a table that had a “fresh wood” look – well, that was definitely not the look i was after. This is a little 411 on how to make some new wood look old – or in my case my old wood look old again.
