I haven't come up with anything I like yet with citrus fruit. I have some pure citric acid powder I might try sometime. I'm thinking, making a solution with water and then adding a medium like dry grains or tiny pasta to create a pattern or texture.
I like the luffa idea. On the higonokami (small blade), I just draped the sauerkraut over the back of the blade to get both sides at once. It was a different effect than one side at a time. Everything affects the patina,... time, temp., humidity etc., and of course how it's applied. I've also tried putting the kraut in a plastic bag and plastic wrap to do both sides at once, but not enough oxygen gets to it.
... wouldn't using wine for a patina be considered, "alcohol abuse"?
