Step 1
Brush the wood with a stiff wire brush. Brush with the grain of the wood to remove a small amount of the cellulose between the grain. This will make the grain stand out.
-
Step 2
Apply a gray or dark stain to the brushed wood.
-
Step 3
Wipe away the stain with a cloth while it is still wet. This step will make the grain of the wood appear to stand out, giving it a weathered appearance.
-
Step 4
Treat the wood with a preservative after you have achieved the desired texture.

I take a propane torch and slightly burn the wood, then use a wire brush on it.
This is something an adult should do - not a step for a child.
