Kind of an odd question....

But what is the "Grain" or type of wood that they use in the 1995 sc400 like oak or whatever? any one know?


Im in the process of ReWraping a nardi classic wheel with wood to match the interior wood accents


thanks CL

I can't remember what car had what for 1st gen, but the term "bird's eye maple" has been thrown around enough for me to remember it. Perhaps that is it.

So did a little research

I dont think Birds eye maple is it

Being the scientific man i am, i usually just Grunt and throw stuff around, BUT im in a constructive mood today, so i took some visual aids
Stock wood grain (unknown)



Birds eye maple:

I am pretty sure it is a maple veneer but not sure its "birds eye", least not on mine maybe the newer ones but think that may be for the Sc430's. Heres a sample of birds eye see if it matches what you have.

Taken from a review of late 90's SC400

Our SC 400 boasted a long list of standard luxury-line features that includes leather seats and appointments, maple trim, multi-adjustable power seats etc...

hmmm heres some maple, what do you think?

RolxuSC400

Wow not even close...I know it matters where it was cut from on the tree.

Ur sample above has very heavy graining unlike maple I have seen but your interior wood looks exactly like mine or pretty close. Crazy

This is what I think of when I think of maple graining:

"Bird's Eye Maple Interior Trim"

That is a quote out of the 94 brochure as I am reading it right this moment.
