Distressed waxed pine finish?

This might be a long shot, but does anyone know what i should use to get a distressed waxed pine finish? I have a normal pine unit that i would like to look distressed waxed, so it will match my other furniture. thanks

Distressed waxed pine finish?
First off the unit has to be raw,distress the surface to match existing furniture usually with rough blunt instruments (e.g.) bike chain, hammer %26amp; punch can make holes to look like nail holes but make them uniform. Fill up nail holes with dark dark putty walnut. once distressing is complete, stain with a butium stain to enhance the distressing, sand the unit down to have a clean surface which will only now have black marks showing. Stain the unit with a stain to match the colour your existing. finish with a bee's wax or an oil
