Basque ball bat

It is a Basque ball bat. We love to play with this bat and a rubber ball in the pelota court (the fronton) in our country. A game like street handball played in American cities. It has been very dificult to me to make a appropiate wood rendering. I have tried to do it in NX 7.5 but it has been impossible. At last I have achieved it with Solid Edge ST5 using a texture from a wood image.
