Weathered Adirondack Mini Chairs

Recently I received a custom order to make a couple of weathered chairs for a seaside cottage.  I ordered a couple of unfinished Adirondack chairs by Town Square Miniatures as the base:

Once dry I applied the white top coat and let it dry completely, the crackling will start to happen. Once dry I applied a matte varnish. Here is the finished product:
