[TheForge] brown stuff

[Gladish Family]

Who has a secret recipe for browning steel that they'd like to share with
their 250 best friends?
Went into the house and garden store that I wholesale to and they said that
the hot color for this year is brown.
She showed me some imported stuff that was getting good response. It's not
really a rust brown, it's more like brown paint or something- flat, sort of
burnt sienna ish. But doesn't really look like paint, either. It looks
thinner than a latex paint and more matte than most oils.
I'd rather power brush and lacquer it all, but this is about what the ladies
want...
TIA,
