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.

thanks Dave. I’m gong to send you a PM with my e-mail – I’ve had to change providers and I lost my e-mail list. The new provider said I’d not loose them – but I did.

Betsy,
Here is a link that contains a zip file for 54 wood species. I unzipped it and put it in the wood species folder in Sketchup. The colors are ok but it does provide some additional wood species.
