That what happens when you open cans of stain that have been sitting in the sun! LOL!

Or when you pound the lid on without wiping the seal channel!

It's a very attractive form of antiquing. I like it!

I once hired a relative from Poland to work in my shop, and he never really understood how we can spend so much time preparing furniture for finishing,then beat the heck out of it to add patina! But then his house back home is over 500 years old! Our 100 year old antiques are still new to them!
Not all baby turtles make to the sea!  Darwinism. It’s works!
