Hey, Tom. I don't have to go through any complicated methods to get this result. All of the stuff that I bought 50 to 60 years ago already looks old and weathered. (BTW: So do I!!)
You can seal the wood with many different products. The way I select a finish is by knowing how I want the finished product to look. For barnwood, you probably don't want a shiny finish. You can use a satin sheen of polyurethane. You can use shellac. If you want the most natural, I use a wax/oil product I make myself called "slip n' shine" it's available here: simpletoncreation.com/products/slip-n-shine-food-grade-wax-by-alley-picked

Thank you for this demo! What would you recommend sealing with following the staining? Polyurethane?

Hi mate, what red stain did you use? Looks great! Thanks.
Minwax semi transparent water based red stain I bought at Lowes.
