Not all plywood, not every cut.
Darkness/lightness is due to the orientation of the fibers in regards to
the cut.

Use the cubic pattern at the root of your texture.
Then for each of the 6 faces, provide the pattern that you want
(including a shifted pattern for the adjacent edge, or a reversed map...)

Scale & translate the cubic as needed.
