Anyone know where I can get a good wood grain pattern?

I'm working on a print brochure and am in need of a dark wood grain pattern. Needs to resemble that of a bar. Any idea where to look for this kinda stuff? THANKS!!!

When you say pattern do you mean an image of wood you can place in the background? Or do you want a wood pattern lineart?

If its lineart you're after - find some photos of wood, take your own, or follow one of the below tutorials and start tracing the lines.

There are about umpteen million (that's an accurate statistic btw) 'wood texture' tutorials for Photoshop throughout the web - googling the string "wood texture photoshop" will give you some results.

Some of them suck, others look pretty good. You can always adjust the levels and whatnot when you're done to make it the correct value you're going for.

http://www.tutorio.com/tutorial/photoshop-wood-texture is one of the better ones I found after a brief search.

http://www.pslover.com/search/wood/1 is a large collection of various wood texture tutorials.

Also - you may want to try going to stock image sites and searching for "wood texture" - I'm sure there are tons of photographs out there.

My answer is, um...wood.

Scan it, seriously, way more convincing than all those tutorials.
