The propane torch is my friend, you can achieve some very interesting textures on wood with a torch and heavy wire brushing.

A wire bush by it self is also good for adding some texture to wood.

Burnishing works great, especially on wax and oil finishes. Those Asian wok scrubbers cut down to about one inch below the last tie work wonders for burnishing.

Sorry for off topic talk
