Get Trevor Wye books
book #1 is all on tone.
they are great.
oh... the only experience i gained, in case you didn't hear this already, is to use your stomach. (AIR!)

You might also look at Moyse's De La Sonorite. The Wye book bases many of its exercises on the things in this book. If at all possible, I would suggest working with a teacher too, as they most likely can help you identify things that are holding back your tone and eliminate them.

These are all good suggestions, especially the latter about the Moyse books. But first and foremost, you need to hear good flute players, both in a teaching studio, bandroom and on CD and DVD, you have to get those beautiful sounds in your head.

I'm not sure if this would benefit a flute player or not... but the best way I know of is free-buzzing - actually a brass technique, but I've heard that Keith Underwood does this. Free-buzzing will increase the strength of your embouchure, give you better control, increase your range (both upper and lower), give you MUCH more stamina and give you a better tone (added that you use good deep breathing).
Have you ever had two piece of paper, one of top of the other, and blew inbetween them to make a elephant-like noise? It's the same concept, only using your lips.
