This is a very good point John.I ahve seen good woodgrain done in this scale but wondered what would it look like in real size. So maybe just a wood colour only. No grain in this scale. Would this look to bland and bleached? Or are we too used to seeing wood grain done in this scale and it would look wierd without the grain effect?
