OK, fellow "wood butchers." I need your expert advice. (That's "expoit" for youse Jersey guys!)
I want to build an entertainment center piece, low profile, similar to what is being seen right now on another thread. My LOL wants it to look "antiquey", so I'm wondering how you guys give wood that "distressed" look? I have some great F&S KD 5/4 red oak. Would you go "all oak" or use oak plywood for the case? Plan to make some RP doors for the front.
I'm pretty sure there are probably several methods, from beating it with a log chain to simply hammering the surface. But, as I said, I'm looking to the experts for your solutions.
Thanks in advance.
