"Long time listener, first time poster."
I LOVE the orangey brown patina with its satin sheen on 100+ year old workbenches, wooden planes, etc. While I'm not necessarily looking to replicate that on my Roubo workbench right now, I'd like to see it looking closer to that if I live, say, another 50 years
What elements contribute to that patina? Aging alone? Any specific 19th century finishing techniques or concotions I could try?
Thanks!
