Looking for an effective colour scheme for realistic wood

The title sums it up quite effectively: I'm terrible at painting wood, and looking for a realistic-looking way to paint wooden weapons, both textured (like on cannon frames and chariots) and untextured (bows and spear/halberd shafts).
Does anyone have an easy to paint but good-looking colour scheme for that?

cianty is really good with faux wood.

Providing an example of your attepts at painting wood might help others help you. Its hard to offer advice without a reference.

I'm currently painting a chapel kit, as well as several barrels and strongboxes.
I'm mainly looking for a colour scheme to apply to all wood though, because nearly every model I paint has some wood on them.
