Way to reveal end grain on wood?

I want to create the effect that wood that's been in the ocean for a long time looks. Where the trough of the grain is recessed, and the ridges become more pronounced. Any way to do this artificially?

    This is typically done with a sandblaster but can also be done using using a wire wheel on a drill or a wire brush. I've done both. If you don't have access to a sandblaster, experiment a bit with the wire brush/wire wheel method. It works pretty well with the right combination of wood type and wire brush.
