Hello fine conveyor of hats, WoodReviewer here, today I am taking a look at the most wretched hive of scammers and thieves… I mean perfectly legitimate place for business for the finest hat traders, Trade Hangout by Merely and Seranok. The place is a classic now, but still fairly small since a majority of the places purpose is to look at how large your number is compared to other peoples. Seeing as my number was 0, I was unable to to participate in the number looking, so I did what I do best: I went around looking at wood.

This was the first piece of bad wood grain I saw, a simple umbrella pole next to a beach that extended to the end of the world. Literally, the map is only like 200 studs by 200 studs. Still, the umbrella pole should be correct and have wood grain going vertical rather than the current horizontal position. A stiff breeze and the umbrella will go right into the water.  As for the base, it seems unneeded; the umbrella pole should be able to directly go into the sand without needing a large base to hold it up.

Ahoy there fellow yoga practitioners, WoodReviewer here. Today I am taking a look at a different type of game. Most games I review are either show case games where you look around, or game games where you do stuff. Today I am taking a look at Temple of Memories by Crykee, a game where the point of the game is to do nothing to meditate. The game focuses on the yoga capital of the world, Indiana, and features the pagodas that make Indianapolis a famous travel destination from around the world. Although admittedly the mountains and oceans seem a little out of place for Indiana, every artist deserves some leeway in how they interpret an area.

Since the pagodas are the center piece of the map, lets start by taking a look at them.

Hello there fellow heroes of ROBLOX, WoodReviewer here. As many of you know, I try to prioritize the biggest and the best places for my reviews, either in terms of popularity of what is easy to do. For both of those reasons, today I am taking a look at Miner’s Haven by berezaa. Not only is it constantly one of the most popular games on ROBLOX, but looking at all the wood in it was fairly easy. It also had another thing going for it: Money. I could make all the money that I could count to, and even several digits past that that I can’t count to. And I love money, it is great. So when I started, I asked this chap for some advice on how to get it.

He told me the secret to get money. And by secret, I mean several Twitter codes to skip the early game grind. But I still earned my money; typing in the Twitter codes took real work. In exchange, I showed him examples of bad wood grain, like that tree. Look at the tree. Look at it; it is a mess. The trunk of the tree has horizontal wood grain, while the upper branches has vertical wood grain. Both parts should have wood grain that flows the same direction.
