I used an overall simple wood like grain on this one. When I increased the detail I felt I got the look of burnt wood. That is an old technique used in crafts where you use a blowtorch to burn the whole surface and then wire brush down to the softer grain. I always liked the effect. After some experimenting I decide I liked all of the last three images. Sooner or later I will have to figure out which one I liked best.
