Color choices
Tree rings can begin with pale tan near the center and shift through honey, amber, and warm brown toward the bark. Color the broad wood surface first, then fill the narrow growth bands with alternating shades. Use deep brown or charcoal along the radiating cracks for contrast. Finish the rough outer bark with earthy browns and muted gray accents.
Repeating Ring Pattern
Choose a repeating sequence of shades for the growth rings. Give the rough bark and radiating cracks stronger contrast against the inner wood.
