Any suggestions for a good plywood shader

I need to render a nice looking plywood shader. I haven't had great luck with Carrara wood shaders but I'd guess that is my limitations.

I've looked around the internet a bit, but I don't seem to see shaders that address the raw edge of plywood ( the layers)

Thanks

Brad

    think that could be more of a mapping job

    create a separate domain in the vertex room on the edge and use scanlines

    it may be doable in the shaderroom too with layers and insets if you do not wish to change or find the object's UV mapping unsuitable

    Just used shaders from the woodland pack and got this in about 2 minutes for a piece of 3 ply using shading domains.

    Search google images for plywood texture map.

    I had done some searches with plywood texture map, I didn't find anything I could use. But I did have luck with shading domains

    Thanks
