How It Works
You’ve seen the Driftwood Weathered Wood look in high end stores like Restoration Hardware and now you can do it yourself for a lot less.
Driftwood Weathering Wood Finish is a simple and natural powder mixture. Simply add to water and appy to unfinished, untreated wood or bare stripped and sanded wood. It provides a gorgeous, beautiful and long lasting driftwood weathered wood finish. Hard woods such as oak and mahogany will develop a darker bluish-gray color while softer woods such as pine, poplar and birch develop a lighter weathered gray color. Other woods that have been tested include maple, cedar, cherry, walnut and redwood.
NOT recommended for use on particle board, balsa, bamboo or parawood (rubberwood or Malaysian oak).
The solution penetrates deep into the wood so the driftwood finish will last the lifetime of your indoor or outdoor furniture and will not need to be re-applied. It’s very simple and easy to apply and the results are amazingly quick. And, there’s no messy cleanup.
No More Fussing with Faux Paint Techniques
No more experimenting with faux painting techniques to try to achieve a driftwood weathered wood finish.
The sample board above was created by using Driftwood Weathering Wood Finish on a nice white piece of birch wood. The sample board shows you the different effects using the Driftwood products.
Wood treated with Driftwood Weathering Wood Finish is safe for humans, animals and the environment.

Sample Projects
The pictures below include a mahogany coffee table that was initially stripped of its original stain before applying Driftwood Weathering Wood Finish. There’s no need to be precise. You will see the solution working on most woods within a 10-15 minutes. The results will darken slowly over the next 24 hours and it will actually quicken and enhance the procedure if applied and left to dry in the sun.
This dining chair was also previously painted white and was sandblasted to remove the paint but there is still a lot of bits of white paint in the crevices. I have no idea what type of wood this is but it is very pale, dense and hard without much grain. It’s the beautiful carving that I love.
I had no idea how the Driftwood Weathering Wood Finish would react to this wooden chair. Once I had applied it, I became apprehensive as I was getting a lot of different colors and a lot of brown tones. You just have to be patient and give the product time to work its magic. Sometimes you don’t think it’s doing anything at all and sometimes it looks rather scary like above. Be patient.
After I finished putting the solution over all the bare wood areas, I left it in the Florida sun to dry.
The chair dried to a beautiful aged and weathered wood shade.
Here’s the chair after an hour in the sun. It’s exactly the color I was hoping for. This chair took less than 10 minutes to apply the Driftwood Weathering Wood Finish and about 45 min. in direct Florida sun to dry.
Warnings:
Avoid inhalation of the powder, contact with eyes and prolonged contact with skin. In case of accidental contact with eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Use gloves whenever possible to avoid skin irritation and staining.
