Entity model texture help.

Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to use a vanilla texture like oak planks on an entity mondel, say a custom boat?  

 

This is why I want to do it. I have a entity like a boat that I want to be able to texture it with numerous textures, like oak planks for example. I figure instead of making a custom texture for each building block (which can make my mod a lot bigger having each individual texture for the model for 40+ building blocks), I can just pull from, again, the oak plank vanilla texture so that if someone uses a texture pack, it will use their texture of oak planks to overlay it on the boat. I know the 16 bit textures are small, so if this can be done, is there a way to take the simple 16x and repeat it over the model?  

I am not sure if I am being clear or not, but any help would be appreciated. If needed, I could whip up some pictures to show what I mean. Thank you!

I used techne to make the models. I didn't have much luck all together. The texture tiling was the first part, but you can only bind one texture to a model at a time. I wanted to just tile the bottom texture and then have a static generic overlay on top. Didn't see a way to do what with a entity model.

personally, I just use techne to visualize my model but I actually write the model itself.
