BUTTERNUT

Juglans spp.

my samples:

end grain closeup of the piece directly above

crotch plank

plank and end grain; this piece, which came from a wood-sample set I bought, is considerable harder, heavier, and less porous and grainy than the next two. I've only had a couple of planks and they were both like the 2nd and 3rd samples, but my reading indicates that the characteristics of the wood are often more like this sample than the next two. The color on all of these is quite accurate; no color correction was needed.

both sides and a closeup of a set of planks --- on the color, the left-hand pic likely has too much green and the other two are probably close to the true wood color (I suspect these are weathered planks, thus the gray color). The next two sets of pics, direcly below, are from the same vendor and also seem to have too much green in them, which is typical of this vendor's pics.
