Use Photoshop to make wood-grain characters

There is no ready-made wood grain background, we can also make wood texture to achieve the font effect of wood characters:

1. Create a new file, width of pixels, height of 350pixels. Resolution 72pixel/inch, the mode is RGB Color, the background is white. Sets the foreground color to r:250,g:157,b:106 and the background color to r:108,g:46,b:22. Then use the Gradient tool to select a linear gradient from the foreground color to the background colour.
