my samples:

closeup of the planks directly above


small plank, cut from one of the larger ones above and sanded for the pic, and an end grain shot. The color is very accurate. I don't recall whether the lowering of the red tint in these pics comparted to the ones above is because I left too much red in the ones above or because the sanding took of a slight veneer that contained some red tint. Probaly it was an error in my color correction on the ones above.

plank from a vendor whos pics I know to frequently be far more red than the wood itself and I'm sure that's the case here.
