Wood Identity Pics Page
Wondering which wood is which? Click on thumbnail pics below. In person, wood in general looks much nicer and can change color or have figuring that moves in the light. It is hard to capture the beauty of wood in a picture. Also hard to capture color, as this pic shows same wood angled differently in light.
Each board is usually different to some degree... grain changes, figuring, coloring, and whatever nature decides. I try and use the natural beauty of each piece in the best way possible for any given artwork. A couple of examples of raw boards…. Bloodwood is pretty consistent from board to board by the time finish is applied. Cocobolo can vary in grain and color as these 10 different boards of mine show.
I generally finish wood in a three step old school process, the final being Carnauba based wax. You can buff the wood with a cotton or micro-fiber cloth. Some further care instruction in FAQ. I also use the only finishes that don't mess with natural resonate quality of the wood, unlike Poly finishes that most everyone else uses.
Private Stock woods are not shown here, since I only use them for Deals page customs (which are not typically for direct ordering).
