If your butt looks like that, you must be on drugs. :D

No. Paid for in full, ordered walnut burl. This is what I received, plus, termed "butt" where it was done.

Paid for in full, ordered walnut burl. This is what I received. What is this? It is not walnut burl. Well-known 'grainer' does very meticulous work.
One email to this grainer I commented that this is excellent work, but this is not what I ordered. The grainer has NOT replied to my email suggestions can walnut burl be done, including a request for 'A' pillar graining, other than his first and only reply commenting that this is 1933 Ford woodgrain; butt and burl are both referred to as burl.
I responded burl is burl; butt is butt, that is why and what they are professionally specifically termed.
Redo and do what I requested, burl walnut.

The grainer refuses refuses refuses to reply.

Thank You mercman from oz!

Re: 1933 butt walnut
 

It looks like walnut burl woodgrain to me! Don't know what walnut butt looks like.

Re: 1933 butt walnut
 

Perhaps merely bad penmanship?:confused:

Re: 1933 butt walnut
 

Yes, I've considered the possibility regarding burl and butt; I've left a number of phone messages; including, i.e., I will pay for half of the cost to redo the grainer's mistake. No reply.

Re: 1933 butt walnut
 

Do you have a photo of what you envision?

Re: 1933 butt walnut
 

This is what I envision as burl walnut or walnut burl.

Absooooolutely NOT butt walnut nor walnut butt, which is what I received.

Thank You for asking!

Hey, it's a craft, sometimes an art. No two artists perform the same or even attempt to perform the same. Your dashboard is attractive and unique in its own right, and who knows, an original Ford somewhere may have been very similar to yours today. I do know that if, in my capacity as a Judge on the EFV8CA Concourse, I were to make a point deduction on your dashboard, I would fully expect to be challenged and reversed by the Chief Judge.

Re: 1933 butt walnut
 

I think it looks great as is.

Re: 1933 butt walnut
 

My thoughts on the different grain the first is butt grain & second is burl

Re: 1933 butt walnut
 

Yes. Thank You.

Re: 1933 butt walnut
 

Mine was "supposedly" (IF memory serves) 34 burl pattern, which looks nothing like Trevor's picture BUT does look close to Rick's burl picture in post 18.
