For me, it depends on the color. In a red, I like the raw where only the hafted portions show the color vibrantly, but on tans, yellows, and other more natural colors, I like the buffed look as it makes them look worn already.
 
I'm with Sean on that one. I definitely prefer (and LOVE) the red on my 77 Sheepsfoot. Didn't care for the red on the Beer Scout.

But with tan, chestnut, whatever you want to call it, buffed looks better.
 
I like it Raw especially in the Red. And since it' about sawcuts...I like the circles to get narrower, not all uniform.

Are there any pictures of the tan, chestnut and yellow in Raw vs buffed.?

thanks for asking MIke
 
Colour specific ,as it gives greater highlights/texture depending on dye colour.

What I yearn for is Ivory Sawn Bone. Natural, wonderful age aspect, and as far as I know - not been done before. Bring it on!:cool::thumbup:

I can like it either way, what I would like to see is for the saw cut pattern to look like it was done by hand, the saw lines not being all uniform such as these vintage Barlow's. I don't know if anyone does it that way anymore.

I was just thinking this last night [emoji106]
 
In red-just like before. Keep your series identical. I'm sure some are going to buy one of every combo you have produced. A complete set of reds with identical covers........whew, nice.
 
I too think an Ivory sawn bone covers would be magnificent.

My preference on most would be raw but after a good bit of pocket time they become buffed anyway.
