guys its easy to make the wood, but what i love is the reflections on the iron part, its awesome

Prove it. I want a video of YOU making wood that good using nothing more than the mouse, and no fancy effects or transformations - just a mouse and the brush tool.

---------------

look mate,
1st: you can use the   brush tool and   pin tool with each other you can do a wood.
2nd: but there's an easier way, by using Clouds then Fiber (looks like a real wood (a little bit )

• here's a fast Example

...only the brush tool... and that looks nothing like his, and nothing like wood.

---------------

ok, i will do a tutorial for it later because i have exams

I know how to make much better wood with filters.
 
But he made it just with his mouse and the brush tool.

@Gruzz : I love the English part, but there is only few people who express themselves inside... Its very instructive 'cause I realize that we do not have the same techniques. Then, I <3 this side ^^

Good work, especially for a first icon. And it's vector as well, pretty good!

So you've never made an icon before?

Technically photoshop can't do vector right? Unless it's some new feature I'm not aware of. Only a vector program like Illustrator (that's the correct one right?) or Inkscape you make a true vector.

True. But when you draw paths it's 'vector', but the image is in bitmap.

Well, vector or no, it's a nice icon, especially for a first

---------------

Photoshop can "do" basic vectors, it just can't save them.

Pretty good. But as you said, I also like the folder label the least.  
 
By the way, you're strictly copyrighting these icons?

I am yes, I've just (thanks to Uttaresh ) Found Graphicriver.net and I intend to start making graphic designs solely to be sold on there, though I am also planning an icon pack, based on the colours white and a light shade of blue... more later!

Yea, I'm not sure what to do about those labels... I'll do some more research on existing icons and see how others have dealt with the problem.

I said about doing a project for Alcohol-icons about a year ago , they are not that fabulous icons but pretty nice though here's the preview:
