Different woods react in very different ways and often the aging process needs one or two days before it becomes visible. Before applying these liquids directly to your precious instruments, you should try to practice the process on some wood scraps you have lying around. It all depends on your personal taste and, of course, the wood itself. Or use both liquids individually without the other one. For a different effect and color, use the tea first and let it dry before applying the iron(II) acetate. One way of aging the exposed wood is to use the tea first, immediately followed by the iron(II) acetate (wet on wet technique). Make a strong black tea by using 6 to 8 tea bags in a pot, let it cool down, remove the tea bags, and pour the tea in a new jar.
By adding some water, you can mitigate the dying effect and it’s easy to make some different aging dyes this way, from very dark to light gray. Use a cone-shaped paper coffee filter to percolate the liquid into a new jar and you hold the panacea in your hands.
The reaction of the steel wool and the vinegar will result in iron(II) acetate, which you can use as a dye. Next, fill up the jar with vinegar essence, close the jar, and let it sit for one or two days. You will need: vinegar essence, water, black tea, steel wool, paper coffee filters, and some jars.įirst, twitch a good handful of steel wool and put it in a jar.

Did you ever wonder how it’s possible to add a special gray and dark color to the exposed wood on aged guitars? Here is my recommendation for how to do this with some simple household stuff you already have.
