How do you make barbed wire?
I am just using smooth wire. Haven't figured out how to dull it down, probably with time will tarnish some
THANKS for looking

Good morning
Got some pics of the finished section house and fence:
Section house, fence, back of depot above
Front of the depot with water tank, tool shed
here is a close up of the fence. I used scale 8 x 8's and carved them a little, also a little washed down paint for variety. Cross piece on top is "
pipe", the way the Amish build.
THANKS for looking!

I kinda drybrush with brown or rust colored paint. Not completely but enough to give it that slightly rusted look. You're correct that time will allow it to tarnish, more so in high humidity air. I'll have to get a picture when I remember.
