    I knew exactly wht you were doing when you were "aging" up your wood. I've done this numerous times. I was right there with you until you did the lines with the utility knife. I can't think of what would do that naturally. Personally I think it would've turned out beautifully if you skipped just that step. Still, if you love it then that's all that matters. I'm still swooning over those brackets. I'm so glad you left them as is. They really are stunning. I was surprised that you painted both stools. I know how you like to re-create chippy or layers of paint. I thought you would've went with that look by sanding to bring more of it out. I love natural age over re-creating it. No matter how we try it's just not the same. Either way I enjoyed this video and you had some really great finds. I've been looking for vintage metal stools for years. The only time I have found them they have been priced way too high. I'm always surprised at what people will just throw away.
