The PM was a valid question about neutralizing the muriatic acid. In all honesty, I never thought about it. It absorbed into the wood and I'm supposing that there were no long-term effects because we never neutralized it.

If the truth offends you, then by all means, avoid it.

The wood probably basifies the acid in time.

Use your wire wheel on it. Brings out a texture. I've also 'torched' the surface and then used a wire brush. After you get the texture, use your air brush to get different shades, etc.
