Universal tint in water for red, brown hot wax, and high tinted black wax spread at 180 degrees to soak in.

warm wipe of soft brown wax, then scoured with rouge rottenstone and allowed to sit for three days. Then hand rubbed out with sawdust and plane shavings.

Helluvalottawork! But very cool. Definitely did not come out of a shipping container.
 
I`d like to say"Bet I could duplicate that in Acrylic.:D.I`m not THAT anal"! However, I did spend a week rubbing/buffing wax into a stoopid sculpture base,so.....thanks for the how you did that info,I`m printing that....L.
 
The patina is perfect. Were the uneven corners part of that flea market look?
 
I love the frame but I love the artwork even more - who is the artist - is he local to you - 4x8 inches or feet? Any more available? Does he have a website? Me want one.

I know you just misspelled wood...... but it is one of the best Freudian slips I have ever seen. Thanks

The wood work, is to become a business of rustic hand made frames from salvaged lumber & timbers that have been de-constructed from former warehouses, graineries, trestles and barns etc.

The word work, is at http://framewrite.wordpress.com/
as well as DECOR and other publications.
