I have an affinity for natural wood surfaces and I am strongly perturbed by the digital grain on the interior door trim pieces.  I am wanting to replace them with the natural wood pieces found on some of the upper trims (Chevrolet and GMC) but I can't find any pictures to go with the names:

 

Geo Jigsaw

Anteak

Savannah Mosaic

Arenite

Nitiride

Hewn Cypress

 

I assume the fake wood print in my LT is the Geo Jigsaw, which I really don't prefer, but I cant find any images on google to match up to the other descriptors.  I would prefer not to make a trip down to the dealership to scope out trucks and VINs, especially considering inventory is so low here and I'm more likely to see 15 WT's than a single Elevation or High Country. 

 

Does anybody have any clue on where I can find a list of the above descriptors with corresponding images?

My 21 Denali says it's real wood open-pore ash wood.

 

I don't believe the names you listed are all wood trim. I am under the impression there is the real wood trim and the synthetic wood looking trim. The rest are different, as in carbon fiber looking and so on.

You are correct, they are all different types of wood and composites.  I was posting all of them hoping that someone could pick out the real wood ones :)

 

Thanks for the lead on your Denali, I'll check out Open Poor Ash Wood and see what I can find.

I don't think its actual wood, even on the Denali. I read that also and assumed it was, but if you remove those accent pieces...they are plastic. if it is real wood it must be a paper thin veneer bonded to a plastic piece, but I looked very closely inspecting for a seam that would indicate as such, I could not find anything. as far as I can tell those pieces are plastic fake wood.

I actually looked into whether I could get a real wood veneer and apply it over top of the plastic piece, but didn't get too far with the research. I wasn't sure if a real wood veneer would be able to curve sharp enough without breaking, although I think it may be possible.

I got the inside of the door wet and now wooden pieces are swelling up? If it’s plastic it’s acting like wood!

So how did you go about making it go away? I just got the panel wet and the wood is all bubbly…

The topographical thing is only on Denali Ultimate.

'Regular' Denali does not have that. 

 

(Denali Ultimate is now a trim level, rather than an option added to a Denali)

I just left the windows down in 90 degree heat in Florida and it dried up, still had some small bumps, oiled with old English for light wood.

    • You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater
    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
