Thanks to everyone for chiming in. I will practice on a piece of scrap and see what I can come up with.

Watching this thread as it is something I have been experimenting with for several months, no real success thus far.
Tried Jax Iron and Steel Blackener and my test piece was not that black, maybe I am not using it correctly.

This is of great interest to me. Does anyone of a picture of what this looks like when done to an item?

This is more of a look than a finish (apologies if this is in the wrong section, feel free to correct me)
I have no idea how to create this look. I am very interested in both the texture (distressed? antiqued?) and the rough worn blackish look.
In the picture below I am asking about the large flat square piece on the door, not the handles.
I spent several hours scouring youtube and various forums and still have no idea how to make this distressed/aged 3D look. Amazing work there, some of the best I have seen. My 'thing' is architectural blacksmithing)
Many thanks to anyone who can offer any insight into how this is done

I also bought a new anvil as it was the same price as a used one. I shopped around used anvils on various sites for about 4 months before realizing/deciding that a new one was the way to go.
Until I got my anvil I was using a 2 foot section of old railway track for an "anvil".

Been dabbling for about a year in smithing, making very small basic items. Have taken several local weekend blacksmithing courses and set up a decent small shop for myself. Now it is time to start learning and creating. I have read the 'Read This First' section.
I have a question. Am I able to post pictures directly on this forum (ie upload them from my PC) or do I need to have them hosted someplace else like photobucket?
I love this look, any ideas on how?
