I was looking at my sheet of walnut but it doesn't look quite the same. My sheet looks like it has more defined lines than the 41-280.

Maybe its just me Icon_smile

Lets see a few pictures of what you got going on. Its ether mahogany or walnut is my guess, there is a lot of photo finish on that set which is fake wood grain and if your trying to match that you cant.

It's French Walnut, possibly quarter cut, but that's the species you need to look for.
