Yes, high gloss appears to be the fave finish. I have a somewhat 'flat' finish or 'satin' finish on my '33 dash with original 1933 Ford butt walnut graining. I think that the flat/satin finish appears much more original.
In '33 the dash woodgrain pattern was either butt walnut or burr walnut.
Most of the restorations seem to have a high gloss finish, is that correct? It is hard to tell from the factory pictures in the ‘33-34 Restoration Guide.
