Thanks guys for the nice comments.
Yes, I'm really tickled with the wood, especially since I ordered "just enough" upgrade (3X...2X being standard) to be able to specify type. It's actually a little darker than the image in the second picture, which I lightened up some with the software to better reproduce the grain. The first one is more accurate re: wood color.
I've always been weak for nice streaky English (or California or Turkey or whatever), the pic Chuck posted under "Sterlingworth Stock Help" is the berries.
In order to post pictures, I had to overcome a strong genetic predisposition to avoid reading directions.
