I made a nice hardwood floor texture that I'm using in a chess animation, it
might help spruce up the lane  a bit:

#declare Light_Wood = pigment { (some light wood from woods.inc) }
#declare Dark_Wood = pigment { {some dark wood pigment from woods.inc) }

#declare board_length = 2.5
#declare board_width = 0.45

object { whatever
               pigment { gradient y
                                 pigment_map { [ 0.0 Light_Wood ]
                                                             [ 1.0 Dark_Wood ] }

                                 warp { repeat board_length*z offset 0.35*y }
                                 warp { repeat board_width*x offset
<0,0.25,(board_length*1.5)> }
            }
I've attached an image of what this looked like in development.
