Just saw the wood trim panels on a Rolls-Royce have symmetrical wood grain pattern!
Anyone know how they make that out of natural wood? They sure are taking it to another level. Now that Hyundai got real wood trims, they must do this to separate themselve.
Before anyone say it is fake wood, this is a Rolls-Royce, that wood aren't fake.

If that's the case, then bring on the pimps.
This car shows what a REAL wood and leather interior looks like.

It's called bookmatching. It's used also in guitar making, cabinetry, etc.

Fleece floor mats are an RR tradition.

Good stuff, though I'm personally still more impressed with Lexus's Shimamoku wood
Since we're on the process of automotive wood trimmings
