I found myself scratching my head last night when I went to look at my car's original dash insert;
My original dash insert started peeling a couple years back, and I had assumed up to this point that it was a fake veneer of some sort.

When I was looking at the dash insert (which is very removed from the car) and studying the layer of clear which has peeled off from below and around the wiper switch, it looked to me like what was lifting was honestly just a layer of clear coat ontop of a thin wood veneer;
It felt like belwo the clear was honest to goodness wood!?

I recently read mention in Smoke Signals about the tree touted as being used for 1973 Pontiacs, but I had long since thought that the "woodgrain" in at least the 1970-1972 Firebirds was totally phony.

Are these dash inserts actually made using real wood?
