Yes, I see what you mean. It's a result of the various wood color_maps and their
separate turbulences all being included inside the (necessary) cells pattern--
which is *blending* the color_maps and turbulences together from 'brick to
brick'. In other words, there are no 'pure' woods. The only way I can think of
to get each wood brick to look completely 'pure' is to use *lots* of different
wood color_maps, and to 'segregate' them within the cells pattern in the usual
way...

cells
pigment_map{
         [0.0 gradient y color_map{--wood 1--} turbulence{...}]
         [0.1 gradient y color_map{--wood 1--} turbulence{...}]
         [0.1 gradient y color_map{--wood 2--} turbulence{...}]
         [0.2 gradient y color_map{--wood 2--} turbulence{...}]
         [0.2 gradient y color_map{--wood 3--} turbulence{...}]
         [0.3 gradient y color_map{--wood 3--} turbulence{...}]
         ... etc etc
