Went with a friend to a hydrographic shop...he's getting a part done..been thinking of getting my dash done in  Wood grain pattern.... Now got to decide on what to get
the oak one which is dark or a lighter one  guess I'll see what the wife likes....she's more artistic than me.... and  see how  my friends part turns out....

I didn't care much for wood dashes until my uncle brought home an old Hudson when I was in high school. Some kind of heavy grained burl. What a classy car. I never found out how fast it would go. Give us pictures of what you decide on.

I had my gauge cluster done in a burled mahogany, looks good IMO :) guess I could post some pictures, just to cold to go outside

I thought about having my dash done, but cant beat the patina it has. Maybe I'll just clear coat it for now.  8)

Researched how to do burl, practiced for a month and gave it a try on my dash and garnish molding.  Think it came out OK.  The process takes a full week to do including the clear coats.

That looks great! Awesome job!
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!
