Texture Gallery: Wood, Bark
These photos have been created by Smashing Magazine readers in our Smashing Texture Contest. What can you do with them? You can use all textures for both private and commercial projects for free, without any restrictions whatsoever. However, you are not allowed to offer these files for download; please respect the interests of over 300 participants of our contest. Please also consider the license information attached to the .zip-archives you download from our server. When it comes to usage of textures, different photographers may have different opinions and intentions.
Some .zip-archives also contain further images of the same photographer. The file size of .zip-archives is between 1 and 15 Mb (depending on image resolution) which makes over 700 Mb space storage. This is also a reason why we have decided to not offer all textures in one single archive. It is very likely that due to huge amount of data and manual work some links contain errors — please inform us about them. And sorry for inconvenience.

Nice collection! I wish I would have seen more of the tabletop darker wood textures, but these will be awesome for grunge. =]

Great job, wonderful results!
I’m very glad to see my texture on this page, but the download link is wrong, it brings another texture. Hope it will be fixed soon :)
Thank you! - 4May 28th, 2008 2:50 am

Would love to download the image of the blue wood by Anna Trojanowska but unfortunately the link is incorrect :(. Any chance it can be corrected?? Thank you.

Hy folks,
I downloaded most of the images for layout use only. If I supposed to use one or another image in a commercial way I will follow the instruction written in the attached .rtf odr .txt file and / or contact the author. Thanks for publishing this data base of textures.
