First Try At Wood [Springfield]

I've never done any wood texturing before, so I figured I'd do best to learn how to do it from scratch.

I had recoloured the metal on brutal's Springfield for myself and did a shoddy reskin of the scope and figured it'd be a good candidate for a complete wood reskin since it didn't quite fit in with the other custom rifles I use.

Took a while to figure out, but I think it turned out all right. Any suggestions?

Eeek! :D

Yeah, I had tried doing a bit of colour variation but it didn't turn out as I hoped. Any tips on how to do it effectively?

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

not bad, just dont make your skin so dark they we can see any details of the weapons, its a n00bie mistake that can be avoided. :P good work

get the brush tool (press B). Set the mode to overlay and opacity at about 5 - 10%. use coulors like red, orange and purple, dont go too outrageous. Also use the sponge tol at about 35% strength on desaturate mode and make ur edges look a bit more worn. use that along with ur curent edging technique.
If u want to make more effective dents, dodge a mark on your wood and then burn a mark to the left or right of that depending on your lightsource.

Example:
