I'm trying to model a plywood texture and was hoping someone here would have
some insight for me.

The problem I am having is due to the way light interacts with end-grain in wood
(it looks darker.)  This makes the edge of plywood have darker looking plys
between plys that are the same colour as the plywood surface.  Further, those
same dark plys on one edge are light on the adjacent edge (and the light ones
are dark.)  The same really goes for pretty well any wood but it is quite
obvious with plywood.

Thanks,
Mike
