Basically you'll want to make sure the lighting is indirect and diffused as possible when taking the photo so that there is no glare or trace of lighting direction. Also you will want to use at least a 50 mm lense or somthing higher to take the photo because anything under 50 starts to distort the image.

You could try Wood Workshop from Spiral Graphics. It's Free.
