A friend of mine sent me this message today and I said I would see if I
could find out anything.

I am looking for a product called rotten stone for aging wood finishes. I
used to use it at my dads shop. I have tried Home depot and Orchard and
they look at me as if I'm crazy. Any of your wood working sites list it?

Any help would be appreciated.

More of a polish than for making wood look aged.


You have get two grades of fineness. Your usually start with Pumice
Stone, then follow up with Rottenstone. It will polish lacquer and
shellac finishes to a very high gloss. You can find both of them in
paint stores such as Benjamin moores. In Canada Rona stores carry
both, Lee valley carries it as well and they will do mail order
