Ah I see, the key to making wood appear more natural is to remove symmetry and ensure there is variability. Wood stain will help bring out natural grain (if there is any) by artificially increasing contract in brighter light levels.

Sun fading and the introduction of natural defects will also add to the illusion.

It really depends on the actual wood used, do you know what it's made from?
