Can you guess which one is real wood?

One is actual Rough hewn oak and one is plastic that I made as a sample for a job.

I'm taking a wild guess because you did a damned fine job.

3. My dear GoPsUx!
I'm guessing that the one in the back is the real wood.......

But it's damn hard to tell at first glance! Or second glance too...

Good job, sweetie! :hug:

6. I say the top one is the real one
but it's difficult to tell with the focusing problem.

They look pretty damned much the same!

21. Bottom is real
Top one looks too evenly textured. But hell, I'm not at all sure.
