I saw this in the refinishing forum. It's pretty entertaining, even if you don't read the cyrillic alphabet!

Quite a lot of work and in the end it doesn't even look like a good relic job.

I was hoping it was a joke, not serious!!!

It's a joke all right, but probably unintentional.

Well, you know those pesky Russians!

Yeah, they certainly have a unique technique! Unfortunately, "abused" rarely equals "reliced.!"

Certainly a cleaner way than urinating on metal hardware to age it (Old story)

For what it's worth, I do think the neck turned out pretty good, but the body just looks beat up.
