    Not the drift wood grey look, but I saw a little stool in a magaziner discribed as being "soaped oak". Looked like raw wood, but I guess the soap acts like a sealant so the wood is still protected somewhat. I think it need a bit of maintenance by the purchaser. But maybe that could be used as part of the shpeel- like selling a poodle. "Ony dedicated people who are willing to commit to regular maintenance are allowed to purchase." As least soap is easy an non toxic. Wonder how it goes on our silky oaks? Maybe you could use "laundry soap, or lux soap flakes.

    Here is a bunch of links.
