Gerry,
This may indeed help. If I can’t find a digital photo online
I’ll look through my copy of his book and make my own photos. I appreciate
your tip.

Greg,
I have often found samples in clients own homes as an example of open vs
closed grain.
Most people have both types of oak in homes. If they have a cabinet,old
desk, shelves (furniture) etc.
most times this is an open pore (grain) finish. Oak floors and most chairs,
tables etc. would have closed pore (grain) finish.
Also keep in mind that many furniture manufacturers are using catalyzed
finishes.
Bob Flexner has written many excellent books which are pictorial references.
Hope this helps.

Does anyone have pictures (digital) of the difference between open grained
finish and closed grain finish. I’d like to email some to my customer to
show the difference. Thanks!
