Hey ericson! I played around with the crackle finishing just as promised, and I posted a how-to today. For the crackle medium, I used Elmers Glue. It worked great!

The way to get a crackle finish, is to use something called a 'crackle medium'. There are many crackle mediums on the market; I haven't heard of one being better than the other. Perhaps you could post that question on Curbly. As far as a how-to, here is a link that explains the process. Crackling can be a bit tricky. I would suggest you practice the technique on a similar material before you start your big project(s). As far as a homemade crackle medium, that is a very good question! I have a theory as to what crackle medium really is--I will do some experiments and let you know how they turn out! Good luck!
