ASPEN
my samples --- colors are accurate throughout
both sides and both ends of a sample piece
end grain closeup of the piece directly above
a set of planks --- except for the first one, each of these images is of a plank section approximately 8" wide by 24" long. The first image is of a section about half that size. I took these in a lumber yard and chose the various pieces to show a good range of grain and color. Both enlargements are available for all of these.
long piece of flat cut veneer and closeup of same --- the yellow on the distance pic is not correct --- the closeup has the correct color. This was listed as "pin knotty" which seems correct based on the small pin-sized knot holes here and there.
quartersawn veneer with correctly shown salmon color
veneer sheets: the top is unfigured, the bottom is figured. The yellowish tan color is correct, but there is just a slight green tint in the pic that is not present in the wood.
figured veneer --- the color of this pic is a little off; the color is actually exactly like the sheet directly above this one but the shiny surface is correct, not an artifact of the camera.
