How does the appearance of the Graphite compare to that of the Woodgrain? Which is more attractive?

We didn't see either choice in person before we ordered it. We could only see it online. We decided to go with the graphite because it looked almost black and we thought it would be easier to contrast the black with our cherry wood entertainment center rather than try to match it and have them clash. We have been very happy with that choice. We think buying anything wood grained online is risky.

The woodgrain is an orange color, but it is more attractive than the picture.

I have a fair amount of Ikea furniture that matches very well to the color of the wood grain. It is a very nice color and much nicer than the picture. Very attractive. I love the desk.

I purchased the Woodgrain so I can not compare what I can say is that the Woodgrain looks solid and is very functional

I recommend the wood grain...and remember, you can return the shield if it dies not match your floor well enough.

I think there are two different woods, (Beechwood and hardwood. Beech is pretty hard.), but I can't tell a difference. The biggest handle difference that I've seen were the plastic handled Opinels in France. I figured they would be easy to buy on the internet, but I haven't seen them.

I think that the wood is composite. It is strong and looks good. I have had many compliments on this walking stick.

I would have to say more black - although you can see the brown grain which I feel is a nice feature especially if you have a mixture of wood (ie. oak, pine, etc) in the room. I just like coordinating the color palate.

I see not difference. I sure like mine. Consider yourself luck as the price drops over time. Mostly likely do to lack of sales.Take the savings and stock up on glue and wood fialler. You are set. Have fun.

I have the ebony color and the wood finish is black and glossy/reflective...absolutely beautiful! Hope others can comment on the natural.

I'm not sure as to the specific type of wood. What I can say however is that the shovel is surprisingly lightweight, if that is the concern. Visually, it looks no different from any other wooden shovel handle.

2 possibilities come to mind. The grade of wood may have to be better for a walnut finish. Black can cover any faults. Or the manufacturer made more black than walnut units at this time and gave a better price to Amazon. If you can wait Id watch the price to see if it goes down when they get another shipment.

Well according to the Janka hardness scale for wood, Maple scores between 700-1450 depending on the species and Bamboo scores between 1180 and 3000 depending on the scale. So Bamboo is generally harder but depending on the species Maple could be harder. I doubt Gladiator would even be able to tell us the type of species woods used. I too want the hardest surface available which I thought was probably Bamboo but right now the Bamboo top is running $58 more than the Maple top. I'm not sure if that would be worth it.

They are the same but I prefer to work on the black one ... I actually have a light wood easel as well....It is a personal preference.

Yes the violin looks much better in person; lighter in color, and you can see the grain in the wood. My G2 is very pretty.

I have both. The white one is believably a Tablemate. I have my doubts about the woodgrain plastic colored one.

Hi! They are both exactly the SAME DESIGN - the only difference being the finish in the 312B sporting a synthetic woodgrain look (either the walnut or other 314B). Interesting enough, although the difference is by having just a layer of something wrapped or sealed into the resin, it's widespread knowledge that somehow the 312B and 314B with the synthetic woodgrain finish ACTUALLY sound better.I forget what the material is made of but if you touch a 302 and a 312/314, you will feel that the latter is cooler to the touch AKIN some metal low conductivity metal. But do not quote me on this. Hi! They are both exactly the SAME DESIGN - the only difference being the finish in the 312B sporting a synthetic woodgrain look (either the walnut or other 314B).
