Crackle/Grunge finish

I want to use the above finish. I'm thinking about making furniture out of paper pulp. I can't help but imagine it would have an interesting effect since paper is made from trees.

Here is a "video" of how it is done:

Although I think I would have to seal it some how after to keep it from warping.

If I get the furniture looking great out of paper pulp, the next thing I'd like to try is to make a boat of it. Since we're getting a beach house and all, it'll be fun to see if I can pull it off.
