Wood Decals

...or...if you'd like to try your hand with real wood visit a tobacco/cigar shop. some boxed cigars have a thin (like veneer thickness) sheet that seperates the layers of cigars. I have obtained various thicknesses in hopes of doing a Douglas World Cruiser with some.

 I printed this cut it to shape for the floor....looked pretty good.  You could use to make your decal too.  It will tend to be transpanet so try different color undecoats to change the appearance.  I ended up using a the wood wrapped on a cigar... looked better

i saw them somewhere a while back,but i can't remember

if you need to simulate wood,try this

lay a base coat or a tan (i use MM Italian Sand) let it dry annd then coat that with Future

when it's all dry take a 1/4 flat brush and dip the tip in Future(lightly) then directly after dip it in some burnt umber artist OIL,,,treat is almost as drybrushing ,a little oil goes a long way,but if you go light and in one direction,it will give a very convincing woodgran,,,,see the sides on the sopwith i did a while back
