A letter for a front door, she said she wanted it to look like an old letter from a old sign. Latex paint, 3 different colors and satin polycrylic finish. As always, I'm open for comments and/or suggestions.
Is there a farm near you? A cow farm? Put it under a pile of manure for 3 days. No really, the ammonia, moisture, and bacteria will weather it beautifully. Barring that, bury it under grass clippings for about 2 weeks does almost the same thing, but you get more insect activty than most people are ok with. You could tent it with ammonia but that requires a lot of work and a safe place to set that up, an iffy proposal in most places and cumbersome.
After any of these, clean it throughly with your favorite all surface cleaner and let it sit in the sun to dry.
