Weathering wood.

For real wood, I use the Black ink/Isopropyl Alcohol mixture.

Soak the wood in a mixture of Ink/Alcohol until you see the color you want.
You have to add or subtract ink to adjust the colors.

After that I just drybrush various browns and grays all over everything.

My two favorite colors are cheap Craft paints..........Driftwood and Barn Wood

That's an interesting approach.  Funnily enough I have some isopropyl at home (for stripping minis).
Thanks for the tip.

I learned that trick from Model RailRoaders, so I can't take credit for it.

Just work drops at a time until you get the right mix that you are looking for.
Remember if it looks to dark, then wipe it off and see what color is underneath.

Don't be afraid to throw the sticks into 2 or 3 different mixtures.
Real wood has different shades all over it.

If you try it, show us the results please.
