There was an article in RMC several years ago describing a simple to make stain for wood. You add some steel wool to a bottle of white vinegar. The vinegar will breakdown the steel wool and create a rust colored solution. Then you just paint it on the wood. I've used it and it looks like well weatherewd wood. I'll look up the details in the mag article later this evening and respost if this sounds like something you might want to try. Floquil also makes some wood stains, as I recall. Doug
