Texture the edges of sheet material

[hugoagogo]

Hello all, i was wondering if there was any simple way of applying a different texture to the edges of some materials, particularily those that come in sheet form, i.e. plywood or corrugated cardboard that have a different from the edge

Select the face that makes up the sheet edge, RMB>properties and select a different colour.

If the grain runs in the wrong direction(common with plywood) create a copy of the colour style and rotate the texture 90º then apply this colour style.
