I gave a distressed look to a solid wood internal door of mine recently by
stripping off the old paint and varnish. The door didn't look distressed
when I started but sure did by the time I had finished.

Try some cow s**t, it works a treat on new stone work that people want
to look rustic straight away. You get the colour and also the lichen
and green moulds growing on it very quickly.

Just rub it all in, and leave outside.

Never notice it.

Many years ago my ole man cleared out the coal shed and made me a
present of seven sacks of coal dust.

I took a couple of buckets down to my neighbour, a dairy farmer, and
obtained a quantity of nice runny shhhhhh!

That was mixed with the coal and packed into a flower-pot, then tipped
out rather like a black sand-castle, and the process repeated until all
the ingredients were used-up.

Left to dry in the sun without any appreciable hum, then stacked under
cover, they made a fine slow-burning fuel for the Parkray the following
winter.

Smelt rather like peat.
