I build bird houses and I have found a way to make new wood look like old, simply put steel wool into a pail of water, let stand a few days and then coat the wood with that water. The more you layer, the darker the wood will get.
Marianne: What a clever idea! Reading it reminds me of steel wool science experiments in elementary school – but what a great application – I’m going to have to try it!

Can I purchase one of the Hardtack boxes? If so how much?
Thanks.
