What color of wood would you recommend to build linen cloth wagon out of?

I'd say... Larch and Planewood? :D
But I love those two, so that's suspicious.

Turned out alright, I guess.
Stones 1 and 2 are obvious, 1 is basalt and 2 is marble

But I wasn't sure about wood. I know that the idol is full wood - part bark, part inside - but I'm not sure if it uses only one wood or if I can use two different woods (let's say Towercap bark and Plane inside)

I wanted that, but wasn't sure if it would work so, for safety, I went full planewood. If anyone knows if it uses two types of wood and which one is bark (1 or 2) and which one is inside (1 or 2), please tell me :3

I wish I used marbles. Also, it is supposed to have cherry blocks, but that mixing turned out nicely. And cypress doesn't fit here, for my opinion.

That's a nice windmill, I don't usually like the brighter builds but this looks interesting :3
I guess I'd have used Poplar instead of cypress, perhaps it would've worked better. But it looks great nonetheless :D

Compilation of images I have found.
Tried to add them to wiki but dunno how. I cant make my own so these are just ones others have made and I thought I would put them all together in one post so someone with
alot more talent than me can either make better ones or just put these on the wiki.

Unsure if that's the right thread, but I have a question (a pretty noob one, but I truly cannot remember...)

Blocks, in buildings, use the inner or the bark texture? I remember something about the great hall (that should have a different behaviour ?), but I am not sure and I don't want to waste materials...
Let's take the stonestead, does it use the inner part of the blocks for the "X" on the front side?

It really depends on the structure. Some places and items use inner, some use the bark texture. Best to check a guide.
