also, keep in mind the woodgrain changed a couple times over the years, so it might be a case of what were they doing this year.

They did change the wood grain slightly over the years. I managed to find one of the nicest looking wood grains they had available for the LTD CV, not sure exactly what year it came off of though. I have a couple of good pics of it, in my RR thread.Comment

been doing some searching to find a turning stick out of burrled walnut to make a T shift handle for Creamy. I didnt have much choice on the veener being used on the dash. I have seen sheets the size of mine for sale aroud 500 to 600 dollars. Dont know if they were matched either. I didnt pay that for mine as it was a leftover purchase from a custom table made by a cabnet maker I meet.
Anywho. It didnt quite match. The patteren did but the dark color was good the liter tones didnt. What I have discovered it is probably Cocobolo burrled walnut. I THINK THATS THE RIGHT NAME. This wood comes from down under Austraila. The color seems to match both the dark and light.Scars are tatoos of the fearlessComment
