Realistic Wood

Create a new 400x400 pixels document with a black background.

Press D to reset colors (foreground color black & background color white).

Apply Fibers (Filter > Render > Fibers); Variance: 16.0 & Strength: 4.0. Press Randomize until you get something similar to the picture on the left.

Here comes the hard part. Use the Liquify Filter(Filter > Liquify). Use the Forward Wrap Tool (W) with the following settings:

Brush Size: 85
Brush Density: 50
Brush Pressure: 100

You should move the brush up and down in a zig-zag pattern as shown in the picture below. You may need to do this more than once to get a better effect; also try and loop once in a while to simulate wood knots. Press the Ok button when you think you are done.

Don't worry if you don't get it the first time, you'll get it right with some practice.

We are almost finished now. Create a new layer and fill it with brown color, in my case I used #573E16.

Set the Blending Mode of the new layer to Multiply

You are done now. Hope you have enjoyed it.

I just want to say that I'm happy to be on this great site!

I've gotten exposed to quite a lot of information here and just wanted to
give my 6 cents. I'm about to write a fine article for this forum and
I'll publish it soon.

If anybody need some help about it, please PM me.

Thank you.

Cheers,

France captain Patrice Evra claims that coach Raymond Domenech dropped him from the squad for "no valid reason'' and denied him the chance to apologise to the French public by reading out the players' statement himself.
