How to do it...

Now we are going to create the material by performing the following steps:

1. Click on New in the Material window under the Properties panel or in the

Node Editor toolbar. Rename the material Wood .

2. Switch the Diffuse BSDF shader with a Mix Shader node, and in the first

Shader slot, select a Diffuse BSDF shader. In the second Shader slot, select
a Glossy BSDF node. Set the Glossy BSDF node's Roughness value to 0.300 .

3. Add a Fresnel node (press Shift + A and navigate to Input | Fresnel) and a

MixRGB node (press Shift + A and navigate to Color | MixRGB). Set the IOR
value of the Fresnel node to 2.000 . Connect its output to the Color1 input
socket of the MixRGB node. Set the MixRGB node's Blend Type to Multiply,
label it as Multiply1 , and set the Fac value to 0.900 . Connect the
Multiply1 node's output to the Fac input socket of the Mix Shader node.

4. Add Frame (press Shift + A and navigate to Layout | Frame). Select the Diffuse

BSDF, Glossy BSDF, Mix Shader, Multiply1, and Fresnel nodes. Then select the
Frame and press Ctrl + P to parent them. Label the frame as SHADERS .
