The art of
antiquing wood is done by
steel brushes, where you remove the soft wood from the wood and leave the hard wood intact. The soft wood are the summer wood and the hard wood is the winter wood. Picture a tree going faster in the summer time making the grain structure softer and slower in the winter time making it harder.
Here are the product for doing it with hand tools. All products are available at

Antiquing wood steel brush head
This product is sold in our web store and it attaches to a 1/2″ drill chuck so you can run it in a drill. We also offer air tools in our web shop for doing this work but sometimes a small head to attach to your own drill makes the work easier when its just a small job that needs to be done.
Antiquing wood look
As can be seen in this small sample what the steel brushes do are making linear lines in the wood to make the wood look old. The longer the tool is used over the wood the deeper the groves in the wood will get. After using the steel brushes a clean up process with flap wheel
abrasives brushes are recommended.
Clean up Antiquing wood
The same head that you are using the steel brushes on can take an attachment for clean up brushes as seen in this picture.
The
flap wheels with brushes and abrasives in a p150 will do a good job getting the wood smooth again after the
Antiquing wood process and the wood part is now ready for stain color or sealer.
Here is a video of the whole process using a QuickWood air tool with the same steel brushes.
