Did a little wood graining today. You can see the roller and plate from grainit co in the picture. Turned out nice. They are pieces near the tailgate for my 49 woodie. I used grainit spray can laquer basecoat. The rest of the 49 I used Dupont basecoat. Those cans are pretty pricey although I did buy 4 of them to use and changed my mind.

I've been looking at woodgrain for the 41 woodie. It came with straight grain dark walnut. I've been looking at this pattern and perhaps a medium colored walnut. This pattern is straight grain with a little more busyness.

Here is the 41 dash in the 41 book.

Mine doesn't look like that at all it is very dark.

I'm also thinking of using seal brown for the steering column, much darker than stock.
