The grain retained the color of his truck.

Looked pretty sweet!
Thanks for sharing the idea...we may have to give it a try on the next one. I'm pretty conservative, so we went with red oak with clear-coat, even though the factory fit and finish was southern yellow pine with a mix of flat black paint and kreosote-type material and the wear strips were painted black from the factory.
