Please tell me how to achieve the effect of the old wood.
I have long sought, but could not find how to do it ...

Here is an example of what I'm looking for ...

One way to achieve the Silvery grey look of old weathered wood is to put some steelwool in a jar with a bit of vinegar. and set it aside for a night. Next day. fish out the Steelwool, Dilute the vinegar with a bit of water. Make some tea. Brush the tea on the wood. Let it dry. Now brush on the Vinegar solution. You will see when it dries it will get the silvery grey color. By thinning it more and more you can achieve differences in the grey tone. If you never done this before It is advisable to test it on a piece of scrapwood to see what effects the diluting of the vinegar gives you. I'm planning to write a little article on how to do this. With some pics to show the whole proces.

"Age It", green food color and brown water color. Use Age It. Once dry, brush on green food color. Once dry, trace lines with the brown water color.

If it is really a dark brown... you have to thin it more with water. For a silver grey finish you probably have to be close to a 1:1 ratio. So as much water as You have Vinegar/steelwool mix. Less will give you a darker shade, more water will give you greys.
