Truck bed wood grain.

[Bugatti Fan]

That Bass Wood (sometimes referred to as Lime) is quite close grained, stains and polishes well too. And the great benefit is that it is readily available to model makers in sheet and strip, whereas the Pearwood and Holly veneers I suggested would be a little more difficult to source.

Wooden ship model suppliers are a good source of strip woods of different types worth looking at.

To make a pattern in an enclosed space I use 2 pieces. Lay one down trace its contours and cut. Lay the second down, do it and then tape together. Just start with the pieces wider than half the width.

I just print my own! And have used coffee stirrers!
