I have a RW Expresso (and a RW Chestnut) sample. If no one winds up having speakers in that finish I can take pictures in whatever manner you like. Or I could send it to you if you think it'd be faster than getting one from Axiom.

Thanks! I will wait to see if anyone has speakers in that finish. Can you post a pic of the sample? No panic.

Think you need to dust those samples a bit Cork.
BTW, overcast days should be great light if you go outside. The clouds act like a giant light box giving a very soft light. Another suggestion would be to help the auto white balance of your camera by including a large white piece of paper next to the sample. Shade shifts the color of light to be more blue and with a monochrome subject the camera can't make a good decision.

I did dust it! I even rubbed them both a lot with the day old shirt I was wearing. They were in my garage, so probably need to polish them. And that second shot was outside in front of a white garage door. Thing is, I don't think the Moto Z4 is known as having a good camera, so that doesn't help.

Guess that dust is mold .. the garage must be a damp place. also the the moto’ z4’s lens may need a cleaning … every thing looks so hazy …

Hmmm ... didn't think of mold. It's hot in there, but not damp; and nothing else has gotten (visibly) moldy in there. Believe me when I say it was a very hazy day. It was a Philadelphia in Aug day, not June. Looking at the samples again I think what you're seeing is oil from my hands, I must have been sweaty when I last handled them. All things considered, except for the glare, the second picture is a decent representation of the wood and stain.

Actually that's how my samples looked as well. The satin finish almost looked a bit dullish, slightly milky. The semi gloss really popped in comparison. That Espresso finish is really quite dark. On the rosewood, it looks alot like how i'm finishing our interior house wood. https://www.axiomaudio.com/boards/ubbthreads.php/posts/443797

I looked again … the 2nd photo is definitely better then I thought. I tend to get obsessed with this stuff … a pict from way back Even the slight angle change is starting to wash out the two maple samples … I had to stop myself from retaking it
