    If it is wood furniture you can take all sorts of things to make it look old. Try a hammer, a metal chain, a blowtorch, dirt from your yard, Old English furniture polish. The possibilities are endless. Just what type of "look" are you striving for and what type of furniture is it?

    Something you ould do would get some sandpaper and rub it on the furniture or get some steelwool or something like that:)
