Find pictures of what real wood looks like - or look at wooden furnature. The start mixing and try to get colours that looks good.

i usually start off with a scorched brown or a bestial brown,no shadeing .as i think those are dark enough then dry brush with a thinned down to the point of being milk vomit brown, after that and a lil bleached bone to the mix followed by bleached bone on its own. or try bronzed flesh, shaded with scorched brown ,or brown ink, drybrush again with bronzed flesh, mix in bleached bone and ficish off with blached bone on its own. another thing it to use grey for something similar to rotten wood or petrified wood

Wait, you mean wood like on textured models, or freehand wood grain on flat surfaces?

Nice Tutorial on Wood

I read a good tutorial on this topic:

Hot Lead - Painting Textured Wood

There\'s also good ones here on painting stone, such as granite or marble. This guy rocks! (Laszlo, are you here on CMON?)
