The photos are the wood species of the standard woods used in the instrument stands. below is some insight on each. But in general, all woods will vary, some more considerable than others. I try very hard to keep a consistent color profile. I hand select all of the woods. Also, If you would like a wood not shown, send me a message. I have made stands out of many of the worlds most exotic species.

1. White Ash. Very dense and strong hardwood. Color may vary slightly from sample, and does not change much over time. Typically yellowish white in color. May have darker color veining and very small pin knots.
2. Maple. A durable heavy hardwood. Color may vary slightly from sample. I try to get only very clear whitish stock. Maple may have mineral streaks. Does not change much over time.
3. Red Oak. Another hard, dense wood. The sample is typical color, but may go a few shades lighter or darker. It generally has a reddish brownish tone. Does not change over time.
4. Clear Yellow Cedar. A very soft lightweight wood. Will vary from sample. Sometimes greatly. I try to pick in the reddish brownish color. But it can go from white, yellow to dark brown. I do not use any knots in Clear Cedar. Compare the Clear to the Knotty Cedar. The background colors are in this range typically. Cannot be used on multi-tiered stands, unless we discuss it first. May go browner over time. Running mostly yellow brown lately.
5. Knotty Yellow Cedar. A very soft lightweight wood. Will vary from sample. Sometimes greatly. I try to pick in the reddish brownish color. But it can go from white, yellow to dark brown. I try to use at least three knots on the sides of the stands. Compare the Knotty to the Clear Cedar. The background colors are in this range typically. Cannot be used on multi-tiered stands, unless we discuss it first. May go browner over time. Running yellow brown lately.
6. Natural Cherry. A fine, strong hardwood. Color is typically tannish reddish when first machined. May vary slightly from sample, and may have red sap pockets. Will age to a mellower reddish brown tone over time.
7. Mahogany. Genuine Mahogany is medium density and strong. Typically in the reddish brownish color range. Can vary lighter and darker. I try to stay about here in color when I pick it. Usually darkens with age.
8. Sapele. A species of Mahogany. Dense, And harder than regular Mahogany. Typically as shown in sample. Color is more consistent. Does not change much over time.
9. American Walnut. Beautiful fine, strong hardwood. I try to pick color as shown or darker. Walnut varies from gold to dark chocolaty brown. Usually darkens with age.
10. Wild Teak. Genuine Teak in many colors. I glue these to be totally random. Sample is typical, but can vary. Very color full, from brown to black to white. Does not change over time.

11. Eastern Red Cedar. Soft. Full of varied colors, however mostly shade of red.  color will become more golden over time. Not available in all stands.

!2. Bolivian Rosewood. Unbelievably stunning. Full of colors. Brown, Black, Red, Gold, Yellow and more. Very hard, dense and durable. Just wow. Color doesn't change much with age.

13. Purpleheart. Very Hard and dense. Very purple when freshly pproduced, but will darken towards black as it ages.

14. Padauk. Bright bright orange when first cut and sanded. Will darken significantly to a brownish walnutty color. Exposure to sunlight will hasten the color change.

15. Leopardwood. Awesome unusual and unique beauty. Hard and dense. Colors as shown, does not change much over time.

16. Spanish Cedar. A uniformly golden reddish color. Resistant to moisture, which is why it's the preferred wood for cigar humidors. does not change color over time.
