First off paint a base colour for the wood. Light for light wood and dark for dark. In this case I used Tamiya flesh as a base.
Then I used my oil paint and dabbed on a coat of in this case Burnt Sienna.
Wiped most off with a wide brush.
I would stop here and just brush out till I got the shade and striations I wanted doing it my old way. I read a new tip and added some yellow ochre. It will help give tonal variations to the "wood". In this pic too much ochre was applied. But this is the back side and not so important.
This is my palette by the way. The oil paint sits on cardboard or card file so the linseed oil whichks out and the oil paint dries faster.
Again wipe it out. You get some nice tonal variations.
Not tip number 2 I learned. Use some foam such as what you get in the after market kits and wipe some more. This gives awesome striations.
This pic looks better,
In a couple of days I will paint this with Tamiya Clear yellow or orange or a mix. Not sure yet. Will post more pics then.
