Yes Dave, you are correct - there is a color picture. Unfortunately
it's tiny and difficult to see anything but the general color as seen
from afar.

Since I recently bought about 50 board feet of lyptus, I was
especially interested in the article on lyptus. The article turned out
to be a single page. I was hoping for some advice on lyptus finishes:
e.g. shellac versus tung oil, etc.

The pictures were good. Looks like they were saving money by making
all pictures throughout the magazine in black-and-white. That's not a
probem with me but maybe some folks really want color....Had they
shouwn some pictures of finishes on lyptus, color pictures would have
been a must - perhpas that's why they didn't discuss it????


There IS a color picture of lyptus finished three ways on the inside of the
front cover. It is shown with a mahogany stain, plain oil (I think) and
shellac. It is a small picture, but pretty well shows the impact of each finish
on the grain.
