Hello,

Here is my modest first attempt to weather some boards with Brett's technique. I am really happy by the results...

Ok... 20 more to do ;-)

    Hey Patrick, very nice wood work, sets the tone for the entire build. Great coloring and weathering. Saw banding obvious but not overdone...watch the scale on your knot holes...you’ve got a nice build going!...Ken
  • patrick
    Thanks guys.
    Yes Ken you are right, my knots are a bit large. I will be careful next time...

    Patrick.
    Look at the Twin Board thread knot holes come in all sizes...........Carl..........
  • patrick
    Yes, they are not all flush and also stained black which might increase the visual appearance.

    Carl, Does it appear Patrick's are not flush, and that makes them more prominent?

    Well then there are always knot holes.

  • EricMGEricMG
    I've continually ranted that the knotholes add little. And in New England, where I live, it seems knotty wood was not used except maybe as barn siding. We are talking during the 1800s and the early 1900s. Now our wood is garbage.

    This looks like it will be a semi quick build to get the basic structure together.
