How to Distress Wood

This is a step by step guide how to distress wood. Distressing wood is easy to do with a little patience and the right method. This is my method for how to distress wood. In this video I show you how I am using 2 colors to get that distressed look. A base color and a top color. Making new wood look aged is easy using this method. Follow this guide if you want to make new wood look old.
Distressing wood like this is perfect for that farmhouse look. The base color should be darker than the top color. Once both colors are dry, simply sand the top layer off to get the desired distressing level on your wood. I have used this method to distress coffee tables, distress noodle boards, and to distress a lot of furniture projects. This method is great for distressing furniture. It works best if you start with bare wood. If you have a furniture piece that is already painted a dark color and you want to try this method, I recommend that you sand the piece before beginning. At least get the shiny layer off the furniture.
