Really nice! Care to share your technique on how to do it?
No real standard technique. Mostly just went through the YouTube tutorials on forced patinas. I guess I should start documenting what I do, in case I want to duplicate something. The basis for most of them is just salt and ammonia, with some yellow mustard, sriracha and/or sambal thrown in for good measure. Heck, I even tried BBQ sauce once. :D

Just don’t do any of the urea ones. There are less umm.. organic ways to get dark brown and black. People put these in their mouths. :p
