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???
