Faded gray antique oak barn boards were applied on this tremendous vaulted ceiling. Custom heartpine trusses were built and faux finished by another local craftsman.
I always recommend painting the wall/ceiling black that will have paneling applied. If the wood shrinks you do not want to see light reflecting from behind.

2 different "weathered" approaches: ceiling boards look truly weathered, but trusses appear washed or rubbed (unevenly, on purpose) w/ semi-transparent white stain
