If you want dark wood then do the wash and see if you are happy and then continue from there. Other option is weathered wood that is grayish/pale. Painting wood is an important and complex part of making models because can tell if the vehicle has been out there a long time or is a new replacement or more info about the theater, the same goes for diorama components.
