I am looking for information on creating the finish for an antique pine table. Does anyone have experience treating pine with potassium dichominate? Should I use Tannin acid before? What would be the color or results be either way? Does anyone have experience with nitric acid? How would those results compare? How about ferric oxide? Will they all produce different shades of brown? Why would you use one over another?
Any information would be appreciated. I am making a farmers dining table out of 5/4 pine and want to end up with an antique finish with a rich old looking patina. I do not want the typical “Minwax” look.

Thanks for any help.
