I’ve got one for rosewood but its too dark….

Sometime I just don’t understand why Photoshop users asking some very weird question, because

– If the image is too dark then you can always use Level or Curve etc. to brighten it up. Or at least try something like Hi-lite/Shadow which may work too.

Back to the non-Photoshop. I don’t know if there is any good plug-in or action to simulate good plank of wood, but if you want tutorial then I would say GOOGLE is a good place to start. And if you don’t want to learn the tutorial to make your own wood, then I would say GOOGLE for wood texture would do.

– Or just grab your camera to snap a shot at some wood, then use Photoshop to make it pop. This way depending on your camera you can have hi-rez image with a press of a button.

"Alienskin Filters" are the way to go with that kind of thing.
