Ageing your carving???

What are the different methods that people are using to give their carvings more depth and a bit of a aged look. I've seen flame and stains, is there anything else? Paints?

Wondering what would be the best method to bring out the woodgrain.

I sand, blowtorch, sand and stain. A little paint in the eyes...

afteryou are finished let it sit outside on a few really sunny days.

I'm waiting for someone to say... send it to me and when I give it back in 10 years...

Thanks for the input.
