PHOTO WARNING
|
| The photos on this web site are provided to assist you in making a choice of species and the various grades that a given wood is offered in and also to give you some species-specific ideas as to: |
|
The color change to expect over time |
|
|
The color or grain range to expect in a given wood or grade |
|
|
Other related characteristics or issues to be found in a given wood or species |
|
However, these photos have limitations. Color in the photo may vary from the actual wood due to:
|
|
|
The translation and reproduction limitations of photography |
|
|
The limitations of viewing photos at web site resolutions |
|
|
The limitations and/or variations of viewing photos on your individual monitor with its variable color and/or resolution scheme in the grade photos, we show only five or six pieces of wood and, as your floor will contain thousands of pieces, there WILL BE greater variation in grain, color, and/or character in your floor than can possibly be shown in just the five or six pieces in the photo. |
|
|
Color change will vary from the photo in terms of the amount of change that will occur. This is due to the specific conditions at your installation site, resulting in either lesser or greater color changes than the ones we have created in our test for the color change photo. |
|
|
Grain and character variation will be, for the same reasons as listed for grade photos above, greater than that shown in the photos. |
| The batch of wood from which these photos were taken may vary from the batch of wood from which your floor was milled. The reasons for this variation between batches includes: |
|
|
Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with, while the same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species. |
|
|
Freshly milled wood will differ in color from older stocks as the older stocks will have aged and undergone color change. The photos may have been taken from freshly milled stock or slightly older batches, which would affect the color in the photo. |
