Take a look for the pictures I'm going to post soon. I've never made a
rustic looking project yet, so I'm sure there are some techniques I should
learn so it comes out looking okay. I think about the only look I DON'T

If all else fails, I've heard that beating it with old lumber chains increases
the value... (no ****)

There was a place that got busted in the Midwest that was buying new pine
furniture, beating on it, aging the stain with chemicals and selling it as
antiques...
