It doesn't really look like any model I had in mind, which, if anything, 
would have been a gilded gessoed surface.  I combined some stretched 
crackle and some turbulated wood to try and get what might be either 
brush strokes of the gesso, or, caked paint dried to reflect an 
underlying wood grain. But instead, it just looks like painted wood. I 
don't find that so strange though.
