In addition, you might try using something like this instead of the wood 
pattern:

function {f_noise3d(0.5, 0.5, sqrt(x*x + y*y))}

This is basically the wood pattern run through the noise function, it 
will have randomly sized rings instead of the perfectly constant sized 
rings in the wood pattern. The texture would probably need some 
adjustment though.
