I need to age some pressure treated pine so it will match with some items I built a couple of years ago. It is for a St. Jude shrine and, although it is not in direct sunshine, it is exposed to the weather. Can anyone direct me here?

Hi, don't know if this will help, but you might drain cleaner. Check here (http://www.briwax-trg.com/aging%20pine.htm)

I tried the rust vinegar trick on the presure treated fence boards and it looked like rusty wood instead of the grey I normally would get with pine. Good luck let us know if you get anything to work.

Rob: I have a Dixie beer in my refrigerator. Obviously bougt before the big blow. I wonder if it will ever become a collector's item. Should I give it to Lynn to see if ir ages his pime? I notice over the years Dixie Beer has aged me.

I will be experimenting today. Carl, at about 11 o'clock, I will be ready for the Dixie.
Carl and I knew an old gentleman who built a small sail boat. He sat down with a beer and a can of paint to name the boat. He couldn't think of anything better so he named it "Dixie".

Thank all of you for the responses.
