I am looking for ideas for making new pine look like old weathered wood. I am looking for an over-the-counter spray on product. I have heard of using oven cleaner. Any info about this or other ideas woulbe helpful. Thanks!

Although I've never tried it personally, I've heard recommendations to try Cabot's Bleaching Oil or Cabot's Silver-Grey Weathering stain. Both should be available at specialty paint stores. I'm sure the experts there might be able to give you other ideas as well. Good luck.
