Step 6A worn finish
I wanted my wood finish to look more worn, so I got out my sandpaper.
Before my last step was completely dry--that is to say, when the thickest painted portions were only very lightly tacky and the rest of the work was pretty much dry--i sanded the areas I felt would take the roughest wear. These would include the highest points and edges. This not only took off the most layers of paint, but created a very rough edge. The result was that it looked like the wood had been re-stained and polished many times over the "decades", and was peeling and wearing back from use.
