If it is natural, never treated or stained wood, you can accelerate the process varnishing it with a mix of white vinegar and steel wool. first, you must put the vinegar and steel wool in a glass jar and leave it for some time in a dark place, you will get a grey looking liquid, then you try it on your wood and see how it goes, you can either use it right away or leave the vinegar to "age" a bit more, it is a matter of taste and patience. I have tried it before and it did work very well, but to be frank, the smell of the vinegar/steel wool mix wasn't very pleasant.. Otherwise, you could use some aging patina or even the DIY Dark and Decrepit Liquid Patina, here's a link to get it: https://diypaint.co/collections/diy-paint-and-finishes/products/dark-decrepit-liquid-patina?variant=28013038792.

knock it with various items to cause bruises - sand bits of it (eg: corners and details) etc......
There are a lot of things you can do to give wood an aged look. You can burn it, sand it , bang various things against it like a hammer or chain. Let your imagination run wild.
