I've done it but to get a good looking result takes practice. I firstly painted the surface with a coffee coloured paint, then with a ball about 1" diameter made out of tightly wound cheesecloth, I wiped on very dark brown (so dark it looks black inthe tin) printer's ink. Then a good coat of clear and the job's done.To get a burl like you would see in walnut, arrange for a spot where the ink is too thick, then GENTLY use compressed air to blow it into the desired knot.
