I seem to remember reading somewhere about a product called "Old Growth" that chemically ages wood. Anyone ever heard of it or know where to find it?
Thanks in advance.

Go here for a couple of reviews and info about where to get it.

I used it just one time very recently on some CVG doug fir (for some interior house trim) that I didnt want to blotch. It produced an even color and was very easy to use. I did have to experiment a bit with application amounts to get a feel for the exact color I would end up with. All in all, I felt that it was reasonably priced and produced decent results in my one-time try. I will tell you that it definitely IS different from other staining products and experimentation on scrap is a must.
