How to give a side of a object a different texture?

[Florenzius]

Hey there,

I know, it's possible to give a side of a object an other texture than the other sides. Here an example: (This is my object and it has a wooden-pole-texture, but i want to have at the top and the end an other texture)



The yellow side is the side with the wanted differend texture. How to solve it?

Thanks,
Florenzius
