Authenticity • WHAT IS REAL AND WHAT IS FAKE? OFTEN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.

WOOD Magazine • Issue No. 292 | November 2023 Vol. 40, No. 6

Tone It Down • After last issue’s Wood-Wide Web column we’ve been asked to “tone things down” a bit. With apologies, we were not aware we had a “tone.” However, to make mandatory amends, allow us to present a selection of some of the most tone-free wood species we know about. Happy now, Todd from human resources? Enjoy your color-free existence!
