How to distress new wood and layer stain 

Great technique for making the wood look aged! Quick tip from my part if you don't have access to a bandsaw. A steel brush also works pretty good if the wood is not too hard. It will take a bit longer but if that's all you have, it's a good alternative in my opinion.

I honestly haven't seen anything this awesome in a long time. I am going to do this and build a sliding barn door with this idea. Absolutely amazing. You should be proud of yourself. There is nothing cooler than character rich old stuff like that . How did you get the blue color? Was it from using the classic gray. Truly masterful art bro!

Really? That is awesome. I love the look of rustic pieces but I struggle with building with it because I like things to be more square. This is the best of both worlds. Thanks for sharing.

whow the final look was great!

I love how organized you are! Thanks for sharing!

I almost didn’t bother watching this video, thinking “I know how to do that”, but I’m glad I watched it! Those look much better than any ‘aged’ boards that I’ve ever made!!! I can’t wait to use your techniques. Thank you for making this video.

Your technique and stain choices helped me match some repurposed boards I found some time ago. Thanks for sharing! Great work.

Wow, you put a lot of work into that. I've been curious about layering stain but was kind of afraid to try it. Thanks for posting the results.

Love love love this technique! Thanks for sharing!

I selected this video to watch the layering, but the distressing of the wood was excellent. Very useful info. Thanks!

That part with the chain fulfilled my S&M fetish for the day!

Que efeito bonito que ficou na madeira!!

Great video! I love the way you got straight to the point! Nice results on the wood planks, too.

Using a bandsaw for the 'rough sawn' look is brilliant. Thank you.

Best distress video I’ve seen. I’ve used the rusty chain, but the bandsaw is a game changer. Keep up the great posts! Thank you!

Que hermoso trabajo!!!...fantástica la técnica y el resultado....aplausos!!!

I just stumbled upon this video. Wow! Amazing job! I love the looks.

Cool! Love it! Looks great! Bout to do a gray distress finish to my solid pine body Broadcaster Fender style guitar!

Love the bandsaw technique, I used a handsaw for a small shelf project and it was kind of a pain. Will be doing this on my next one for sure

Holy cats! That bandsaw trick is going to be used on my next project! Super helpful and eye opening video! Thanks!!

nice work ,love the stressing with the band saw, thanks for sharing

😂😂😂Never saw anything like this! Absolutely great! I would love to have the floor of my house like this. I bet I know many people which would get a heart attack by watching this.😊 🤣 And to all the people who commented why not using pallet wood or something similar, I think it’s a proper solution if you can’t get pallet wood. It’s so popular making furniture of it that it’s not that easy to find or to get. At least you have to pay a lot sometimes. I will definitely try this. Thanks for sharing!

Really well done. Thanks.

Great job! I like how this turned out.

Wow!!! So many hateful and judgmental people, you must be doing something good. Keep up the good work and don’t let hateful people get you down.

bandsaw technique! woo good never thought of that :)

I love the "early American" finish and who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks mate. 👊👊

This is really cool! Well done. I am going to try this, thanks so much for taking the time to make this video!

dude! this was my dream to do stuff like this! very creative! great job man :D

LOVED IT!!! THANK YOU

This makes me feel better about the amount of time and effort I have been expending finding and breaking down used pallets. Once I get the boards, the painting only takes a few minutes. The boards ARE all different widths, though, and that makes for a little extra hassle with my project.

That`s one nice trick mate! Cheers for that. Keep up the good work

I plan on using this technique for a wood accent wall in my basement, a roughly 20' W x 9' H wall. I want to use 1x 4, 6, 8, 10 in. boards, is that an OK thickness (3/4") for that space going on a wall? I see a lot of people use super thin "shiplap" style boards but I just don't like that look as much. Would you suggest using construction adhesive/glue of some type and brad nails as well?

Thanks for the quick and straight to the point video.

a table with a mix of all the stains would look awesome!

Genius artist. Fabulous vision.

now that looks really cool

These turned out so good!!

you said to use a different stain on the first layer. Do you remember what combinations you used?

Wow!!!! Really great work. Greetings from Ghana. Please could you list the items used?

Great work on this. Never really see a technique on Weathering wooden materials before...

Nice trick with the bandsaw.

Great Video.. I loved the way you Filmed this.. Short and Sweet... Totally explainable Especially the loud noise of the SAW... Thank you for sharing this great video

That is such a cool look, thank you for sharing!

Brother! You are a master!

SO BEAUTIFUL!!

Very good like like 😎🇧🇷 bfspinturas!

I had to LOL while watching this video. I found it pretty funny the way you moved in the fast forward portions. And the sounds that went with it. LOL I like the way you demonstrate the wood with different stsins, and sizes too. Stains look different to me on different size wood. I guess because its more of that stain color than no color. If that makes any sense. Thanks for the video

Awesome just love your creations". Simply outstanding

Thankyou for the video I really learned something 👍 it's crazy how back then I had to ask people questions how do you this and that even trying fix a car issue when I was 19 I'm 33 now and now everything is on youtube these kids now and days should know how to do everything on there own pretty fast with all these DIY videos

Awesome!

Great video. I use the same technique except the fact that I gave up on oil stains. Too much odor for a very long time. What I do is fir lumber with vinegar + steel wool and when all is sanded out, I finish with oil of linseed. I have to say that I also use the sawzall

Very nice! I learned something! Thanks!

great bandsaw technique! very creative

That is awesome!!!!

Excellent video!!

Craftsman at work. always a pleasure to watch

On a smooth pine wood surface get some mineral Turps, apply randomly, with a brush of different sizes to create streaks then before it dries hit it with stain, you get this effect without roughing up the wood or any sanding.

that was awesome nice work can't wait to see what u make out of it

cool stuff man

Excellent! Thanks!

Ok so I have a question, do you have a video for a beginner (such as myself) on how to age, distress or stain wood like a pallet? I want to make it look like a pretty brown using a stain but I don't know if I need anything else so it won't fade. Please help lol thank you!

Fantastic

Beautiful!!

Just amazing

Looks great!

I like the planks where you run them flat on the bed of the saw. That really gives them the rough lumber look. The ones that have the angled scrapes just look a little to contrived to me but maybe that's just because I saw what you did. Along the lines of the bandsaw trick, I've been trying to figure out a way to get a rounded scrape like you'd see from a sawmill that uses one of those giant circular saws to rough cut the logs. I've tried a few things but it takes forever to do one board so it's not working out so well. Have you ever done anything like that? Way back when (40+ years ago), my mother, my brother, and I refinished some furniture in the distressed fashion. For some of the distressing, we used a chain but rather than beat it as you did, we laid it out in a random pattern and then hit it in various spots with a hammer. Same idea, different approach.

were the stains all oil based?

This is so amazing 👏 😍 ❤ 💖 🙌

Very creative love to try this

Is stain like paint? And is wood finisher just a stain?

Amazing work! Highly inspirational. I may try this with pallet wood as I do not have a band saw to distress the wood with saw marks. Was the wood you used "fresh" from the lumber yard or did you let it sit for a few months? Kiln-dried wood can still hold unwanted moisture. Any warping or movement in the boards over time? I've heard when you nail/screw and glue, the table top can warp as the wood expands and contracts with the seasons. Maybe not in this case because none of the pieces are very long.

For example 1 coat was dark walnut which color goes on it as 2 coat????

Do you have to use wood stain and wood finish as im on a budget. Thanks love the video

like a cargo stock plywood

Awesome! Do you have a photo of them all that has the stain used labeled on each of them? Be helpful to choose a stain looking at them all and knowing the kind needed :) thanks

Very interesting techniques, really applaud the stain colour mix which really gives you a truly unique pieces Wuat do you sell these for?

Goodnight. Is the fool oil-based? After applying, does it have any other treatment such as varnish or lacquer? Thank you.

This looks fantastic. Did you go over each board a 2nd time thru bandsaw and 2nd stain. Just looks like a few in video. Thanks looks great

How much would natural rustic wood go for by the ft? I’m talking about ones from old homes that have 2x4, 2x6, etc

Very interesting finishes!! These stains are mineral spirits based? In Brazil we can't find oil based stain to apply and wipe like you do. Regards, Patrícia

do you like the the triton router what is the h/p

Si es que la madera estaba sin cepillar. El efecto no sería el mismo?

Interesting

You should make a panel to devide a room . It would be awesome !!!! I m very curious, what did you make ? How many days we must wait to see. Not long I guess ?

Wow awesome

What lumber is this?

good job! what kind of paint did you use?

Next time please remember to register!👍

cool

Nice video. How did you get the green and red look?

Hello! How long do you wait to sand between stains

Great video. I admire what you've done here, and am trying to make some videos like yours. I would recommend however, to add some music in the background to make things a bit more interesting.

nice designs

Hey bud I'm trying to do this but is the stain oil based or water based?

What kind of bandsaw is that it has a higher or deeper throat

just a joke but mostly true i can make anything look rustic and beat up if you ask me to becareful when i handle it ok really your video is amazing and i wish you luck with everything you do in life thank you for sharing

Did you sand before applying the first coat of stain?

what do you use for applying stain? Great job btw

I like the technique, the bandsaw mark darkening is a little intense, I would maybe sand it down after passing it through backwards.
