Using Tandy pro waterstain:  Spray evenly with light brown, use toothbrush to splatter medium brown and immediately wipe with wet sponge in downward direction. Put medium brown on sponge, wipe downward to add larger grain sections. Air brush knots in medium brown (in future use dark brown fit knots and dagger strokes). Resoline

When I opened the link and saw the picture, I thought it was a block of wood.

Same here. Thought it's a piece of mahogany. One barely finds a knot or cracks in them. Great job.

Here's my second try.  I used some dark brown to add some knots and highlights.  Still working on my airbrushing skills.

Nice! I even see termites moving in towards it! Nevermind... the bugs were on my screen.

Nicely done! I think you would fool anyone with this piece of "wood"
