BTW, if you'd like a really nice, made in USA pistol display box, I can direct you to a source.

But can you age it?

You bet! Want it to look like it was dug up at a WW2 battlefield? That 'old' enough? 8-)

Hi Don,
The way they age wood in the furniture business is to whip the piece a few times with chains, the kind you would use for a garden swing, and then drill some worm holes, 3/32" is about right. Finish up with some wax polish.
