Hi,
A friend and I are building a table and we were hoping to have the table top be scrubbed pine. We like the look because it has an old worn in look, however, that being said we weren't really sure how to go about making it. We are particularly interested in how the scrubbed look is achieved. Is the wood stained first or painted usually? IS the scrubbing done using a soft brush with coarse salt or a stiff brush? We are really looking to give it the look of a really old table. Also what kind of wood would be best for building the table top itself? Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks
Is this the look you're after?
This was one suggestion found to achieve the look above:
