This is how I age or distress Cedar with Steel Wool and Vinegar. This creates a beautiful gray/brown appearance that is very similar to oxidized oak barn wood.
Hi Micah, I posted an update video recently for my bar build. In that video you can see exactly what it looks like. It lightens somewhat after it dries but as far as I can tell, it’s minimal.
Water or vinegar base on the tea?
How would the color take to outdoor elements?
Hahahal Bernards, tell me your from Texas without telling me your from there .
that looks great does it stay that dark or does it lighten up over time

@@lukeduke3738hey friend, how do you make it more brown? Thanks in advance
@@justinostrom5654 hard to do with the red undertones of cedar…there is still plenty of brown in the color though
Do what if I want it more brown?
More tea stain first
Does it keep the cedar smell?
The cedar smell has faded quite a bit over the last year. Shellac would help that
