brian leecy said...: Hi Martyn,looks more like a spruce carpet to me ,central bar is more lumpy,on the grey pine carpet it seems more smooth on most of the 1s i get anyway,there dosnt seem to be much in the way of diagonal marks or streaks on the wing tips,but can also be a bit vague on spruce also,the wavy line just above the outer wing edge is present as on spruce,and theres quite a bit of white dusting around central bar area,hope this all makes sense,all the best bri.; 28 May 2009 at 11:40
