My cheap ass will rub the contents of used tea bags on an old shed tonight. I’ll take some before and after pics and will see what happens.
I was told to stain it dark as I wanted the bases. Then use steel wool at base of tine and squeese harder as I go towards the tip in a sanding motion.

Black walnuts. Put them in a bucket with some water and let the rinds blacken the water for a while.

Used some coffee and tea mixed together. Did some brushing, then just grabbed it and rubbed it in with my hands.
Let it dry, then hit the bases with the air compressor to remove the grinds and wiped it off.
I'd give it a 6 or 7 out of 10. Not perfect, but added color and looks much better.
Now if I can just get this damn coffee smell off my hands.

Looks pretty good to me Larry but if your hands smell strong how strong does the antler smell? Would switching to decaf help or maybe some cream and sugar?rotflmao
It turned out better than I expected...:smiley_clap:

You couldn't pay me to drink Starbucks...... IMO best coffee is McDonalds.... And its only a buck...
I rarely buy coffee from any shops or fast food places. I don't like mine hot, it takes too long to drink it

Didn't give it a 10 as I think it looks a little bit too tan/yellow than a natural one. Maybe I should have used a darker blend???
And I have no idea what kind of coffee it was, as it was whatever my wife scooped into the cup. I don't drink the shit, but choose to yellow my teeth with iced tea instead.

I’ve just started staining a couple of my bleached sheds. I found a recipe that works well on You-Tube. A potassium permanganate and water solution. It applies with a sponge or brush as a purple water color, then dries as a brown tint. It works great!

1That look's pretty darn good in my opinion but I know my opinion is worth as much as a dog turd !!

If you're having a little trouble with the motion just ask your mom for help. I hear her technique is impeccable!
