how to get that old barn wood look???

Sent you a PM George

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.

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.
