T_Wood3 is a layered texture, so I'm pretty sure what you're doing only 
changes the ambient of the top layer, so the bottom layer keeps the 
default of 0.1. I'm not sure what it does to make it *more* 
visible...maybe you're just seing more contrast. Try putting this line 
at the beginning of the scene, before you include woods.inc:

#default {finish {ambient 0}}
