This is my Steel Belted dresser. The way I did the finish was first torched the lumber. Then use Brazilian cherry stain from zar. The steel belts patina I used Sculpt Nouveau black magic and Japanese brown. First I heated the steel with a torch. Then applied black magic. Then asked the brown. I used wood/steel pop rivets.

Very cool. I’ve used flame distressing for small pieces but never so ambitious as to do a whole dresser!
