Hi,
Getting back into woodworking after an enforced break (home reno's, lost the garage and still building a workshop). I have a few projects in mind and want to add an aged/patina look to a few things.
So, to my newbie question...
I happened to see an episode of "How It's Made" yesterday and they were making decoy ducks, and showed adding a patina finish to the wood with wood wax. I couldn't see what it was, but they got a yellow paste wax from a tin and wrapped it in a closth, then olished the decoy with the wax-loaded cloth. Didn't seem to be a shellac/tung item, more a thick paste or chunks of soft wax.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a local product like this?
Thanks,
Darren
