[TheForge] Aging wood

[PlumDon at aol.com]

We have frequently discussed rusting and aging iron but I have a client for  
whom I have made a bee hive oven coals scraper and she wants the whole thing  
aged...including the six foot handle. The iron has come up nicely but I have 
no  clues as to how one might age wood. I have done the handle in 1-1/4"  
poplar.
 
They are not trying to pass it off as an antique they just want it to match  
a lot of the other old stuff they have. Also they intend to use it for this  
Thanksgiving when they cook a turkey in the oven. 
 
Any suggestions much appreciated.
