Need Plywood Appearance

I have a model I made from plywood.  I looked in the Wood Appearances menu and there isn't one for plywood.  Where can i get one, or do I have to create one from scratch? I'd rather not create my own if there's an easier way.

This was done in less time than it took for you to make the post. You could just make a sheet of plywood in less than a minute and use that to cut up.

Well, lots of things are easy once you know how, but I don't know how to do this.  I just spent 5 minutes looking for instructions and I couldn't find anything.  I'm sure they're around somewhere.

Also, I don't care about rendering, I'm just using the Model workspace.

I made a box. Put a 'new sketch' on the side. Drew a line along the top edge. Used the 'rectangular pattern' tool on the line. Pulled it down to the bottom edge and choose 6 as the number of lines. Used the 'split body' tool (4 times): choose the lines, one by one to split the body into five pcs. Applied material , 'Oak End Grain,' to a couple bodies and a regular 'Oak' to the other three. you could have also used the split face tool and applied the materials to each face. This would probably be a better choice.

when you use the split body tool you have to do it each time for every line? i can´t select more than one line to split the same bodyasd.jpg

I am lost. How did you do this? Is this replicable (Copy & Paste)?
