Hey Hey, did you no that there are commercial stains avalable to give that diftwood effect? Since diftwood is a product of the ocean, wind, sunlight and salt it is hard to take your scale lumber to the beach and weather it naturally. I know there are wood patima's available to enhance rewood wood to that fine silver look of age. A little searching on the internet will provide you with not only information but also time to see what is available to woodworkers. I have gotten allot of driftwood from the beach and have cut it in my woodshop to scale size lumber. Used it to build eveything from outhouses to seaside depots. River driftwood is a good source of building material as long as there aren't to my linear cranks in the wood. Be careful with cemical to stain or change wood to your needs, you wnat to live to see you work on your layout. Another thing is those that comment on using fire or soldering irons to decorate wood, well I find it to much of a problem and it is dangerous, your home could go up in flames as well as your layout. PRACTISE CAUTION AND BE A GOOD MODELER
