Hi K.C.,
Thanks for providing the link with your pics and sources. I took a
stab at it with an area screengrab I pulled from one of your swatch
images. Don't know if this is what you are looking for but I was able
to get a wood pattern that did not repeat as much by using a lower (as
well as odd-numbered; 5 and 7) HV tile settings. I also made sure
seamless and interpolate were on:
1)

/wood3_HV5.jpg
2)

/wood3_HV7.jpg
If you think these will help, I can send you the CAR file for a reference.
Just let me know...I'll be in later on today (yeah, it's REALLY late
for me, now, and I have to get up in just a few hours!)
Cheers.
