Did a quick search of the Wood article index and found the following:

1. Faux Finishes SEP 2007 178 32 - Crackle, Pewter and Leather
looking finishes - This article available at the WOOD STORE


2. Faux Finish Like a Pro-Tim Vander Well Dec 2000 129 78 - Plans
available at the WOOD STORE


3. Finishing - Painted Stone Finishes Apr 1991 42 76

Thanks guys, I think I found it in the Feb/March 2005 issue of wood. I
going to the public library in a few minutes to get it. It is strange
because I didn't start woodworking until November of 2005, so this
must have been an article I saw just scanning through some back issues
at the library a couple of years ago. Its strange how little things
get stuck in your brain and then pop up when you need them :)

Thanks,
Richard

I remember that one. Pretty sure it was in Wood, but I don't remember which
issue, and I don't remember where it is either. :-(
