Create wood shader

Hello all. For my AD 309 class project I will be creating some of my product designs in Maya then putting them in simple environments. I'd like the environments to give the objects context without taking away from the objects aesthetic. I will therefore need to give the objects in the room subtle detailing. I'm going to create a table and want to make it woodtextured and colored Here is a link to a site that tells how to create an excellent wood shader. The steps lend themselves to creating other textures as well.
