Hi,
Thanks John DIY and Musetap,
The wood for the cabinet I got at a lumber mill close by.It's rough cut pine.There are real evident saw marks in rough cut wood.I found on the internet a simple solution where you put some nails in a jar of vinegar over night.When you brush that on new pine or poplar it instantly turns gray.I scuffed up with a few strokes the top of the cabinet to show the blade marks better.My next experiment will be using a wash on the wood to bring out the details.A wash is diluted paint with water or oil that plastic modelers use to make the detail pop.Thanks you guys....Mark Korda
