34 Dash - What is the original wood grain pattern?
I've had a look at a number of posts re wood-graining on a 34 dash, but I'm still confused! Does anyone have a good, clear image of an original dash, or a dash they think is pretty close. My feeling is that the pattern is not as 'fancy' as one you'd find on a vintage Packard say. It would be good to eyeball an original to show the guy doing it. He runs an hydrographics studio.

This dash is a bit faded, but i believe it was original.

But only a bit faded as a bigger factor is the overexposure of the photograph. The photo of an original glove box door below, while obviously taken using flash light is helpful in showing what is basically a fairly dark wood graining.

I still have the dash (still in pretty good shape) out in my workshop -- I can't even think about redoing it for any of my 34 projects - just wouldn't seem right. I'll take a picture and post it tomorrow . . . am really interested in whether his take on correct/proper woodgraining for 34 dashes had any merit to it? |
