Mensan Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I believe you can use baking soda to wash it out and make it look weathered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murse Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 @351mach1 im looking to do it myself, do you know if they have blank boards? @mensan take baking soda to prepainted wood or unpainted wood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I think a baking soda/water solution on unpainted wood will make it look weathered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 that looks like something your sister found off pintrest My wife is addicted to it. She listens to my CR stories, I listen to her Pintrest stuff. She's into quotes. One I like is "If you talk about me behind my back you're in a perfect position to kiss my ass."

LJ Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 http://www.ehow.com/how_4787113_weather-wood-barnwood-picture-frames.html Beat it with a chain and hit it with a wire brush a few times first. After you do the above, take a torch and touch spots on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
