When it comes to patina, new wood can be a bit tricky. Unlike other materials like metal or stone, wood is a porous material that can absorb patina agents quite easily. This means that you have to be careful when applying patina to new wood, as you don’t want to overdo it and end up with an uneven finish.
The best way to apply patina to new wood is to start by sanding the surface down until it’s smooth. Once the surface is prepped, you can then start applying your chosen patina agent. When applying patina agents to wood, always use a light hand and build up the layers gradually. This will help ensure an even and consistent finish.
Once you’re happy with the level of patina on your new wood piece, seal it in with a clear top coat for protection. With proper care, your newly-patinated wood piece will age gracefully and develop an even more beautiful finish over time!
