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

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.

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

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

[tubman]

Perhaps merely bad penmanship?

[highbeams]

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.

Do you have a photo of what you envision?

[highbeams]

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

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

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.

Alan, as I commented to the well-known grainer that did my '33 dash: Everything has a name for identification; i.e., beer, colors, vehicles, cars . . . worldwide. The world needs identification; therefore every person's surname with genealogy, every thing must have a name. to wit: it is what it is! Don't You understand that???!!!

Again. . . in this case, I view the grainer 'going through' all woodgrains in his video FOR THAT IDENTIFICATION PURPOSE! He shows and describes every dash and garnish woodgrain including the butt woodgrain, the burl woodgrain, yes, as well as every other car-interior woodgrain that he says he does. Why? Obviously because he and the customer MUST BE ON THE SAME PAGE!!!
Therefore, I spend thousands of dollars ordering what he has described in his video, burl walnut! I receive butt walnut.

Am I not entitled to even what he says is burl walnut???
