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.

sample plank and end grain sold to me as butternut and BOTH / J. occidentalis / J. cinera [J. cinera is a name that I do not find in reference materials] (this slovenliness of nomenclature was not unusual in the samples I received from the IWCS)

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.

color in this plank seems WAY too deep a brown --- I've never seen butternut have a chocolate color like this.

veneer with what appears to be accurate color

veneer that has been moistened for the pics (there are is a small dry area at each side); color seems a bit too gray to me
veneer --- in the first two pics, the color is too dull and in the last one, the yellow is just ridiculous.
veneer with what I believe is definitely too much yellow/green tint
these are from the BogusColorVendor, so I seriously doubt that any of these pieces have any of the red or orange shown here.
