Thanks, @rayzryr ! As for polished wood, I suppose it depends on hard or soft wood. I’m guessing something like oak is what your going for, so that’d tend to be a darker brown, assuming a polish put on top. Something that might work it Contrast paints. I’ve been messing around with them a bit recently and they can do some funky stuff. Just a thought, and not something I’ve done myself, but if you use a white basecoat and then use a light beige of some sort to paint a ‘wood grain’ pattern then you could add a thinned coat of Wyldwood across the top. That should (in theory) give you a nice simple colour and keep the wood grain visible. Also maybe a thin coat of gloss varnish just for that bit of shine. Again, not something I’ve tried myself, just a thought.
