Last pic about the aging stuff, promise. I wanted to test my hand at doing something with a large surface area to see if there were any tricks or traps. So my lady friend let me try on a couple of wine crates she had that she has been wanting to stain or make look aged anyway. The picture doesn't really do it justice. It just looks kind of gray and splotchy with my stupid camera. In person, it is awesome. It really does look aged (since I guess it really is oxidizing the wood, not just staining it - same thing that really does happen to real wood) and it has a lot of character.
