Walnut? You sure that's not simply '80s FG?

The color is very brownish without signs of redish.jingle_jangle wrote:Walnut? You sure that's not simply '80s FG?
attached is a picture taken without flash (and too low shutter speed for my hands):

Thanks, Berth. In that photo, it does look like Walnut. A rare one!

Hmmm you guys make it difficult for me as I do see a refinish someday and I dont like brown and I dont like yellow and I think WAL more or less is brown and yellow. I do like natural colors like wood though. These are my favorite 4005 colours :jingle_jangle wrote:Thanks, Berth. In that photo, it does look like Walnut. A rare one!
WAL is not one of them. BB with black hardware would be very nice I think. For the time being I think My 4005 stays the way it is. As far as I can see there is enough human grease/dirt on the unfinished spots to protect it meanwhile.

Wow, that's a tough call. Very tough. I'd be hard pressed to do it, even if I hated the color.
