Does anyone have a formula for turning new pine grey? We need to make some posts look aged.

Hi Nancy,
Rick Janzen put me on to this steel wool and vinegar solution for aging wood
Hope it helps.

Good to see you Nancy...

We've always stained our wood gray but I have heard of other ways... here's one


Get hold of some (concentrated) hydrogen peroxide (available at a hairdresser supply), paint that on, let dry , then paint with cloudy ammonia, and leave out in the sun.

I spoke with Rick today and got some great ideas...including using plant fertilizer and black tea! Should be fun! I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for your help!
