Google Sketchup - Come Along for the Ride #32: Trying to get back in the swing - new project

OK – so I’m finally getting back to doing things. Small stuff mostly and easy things. So I’m thinking of making a cutting board for my sister-in-law. A board for cutting bread. She makes the best homemade bread!!

Anyway – this is what I’m trying to do.

I’m having trouble getting the colors right. The whole idea of doing a SU picture is to see if what you want to do will look good, etc.

I want to change a couple of the components to a walnut color.

If you try to imagine what I want to do—the first 3” section (on the left) will have cherry on the bottom – walnut on the top.

then comes a maple strip, then a 3/4 strip with walnut on the bottom and cherry on top – then a maple strip – then 3/4 strip with cherry on bottom and walnut on top – then a maple strip then the 3” piece on the right has
walnut on the bottom and cherry on top.

If anyone can help with the coloring I’d appreciate it. I looked in the paint bucket and there are not many wood colors – I’m sure there is a way to import more – but not sure how.

Thanks in advance for any help.
