February 5 - Making New Wood Old

I have wanted to make the infamous Pinterest ruler to measure my daughters height for awhile. tonight i am starting that process...

Step One : Prepare the wood. So that's what I'm going to attempt to do tonight. I have a board that I want to use and I am attempting to age it with steel wool and apple cider vinegar.

Okay this crap stinks!!! Omg! And I hate the smell of vinegar on a normal day but this is nasty. Even my husband who loves vinegar thinks this is nasty.

When asked what the board looked like hubby said "It looks like an old piece of wood that's been outside a long time." Mission accomplished!!!

It's still drying but you can see the difference.
