I can vouch for that. I just received two samples of cherry in nutmeg and bordeaux semi-gloss finishes. The pictures in the custom wood studio do no justice whatsoever to the real thing. While both look quite nice, the bordeaux is jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
Also, if the grill mounts in Axiom's samples are indicative of what's used in the speakers themselves, the VS mounts are considerably more snug that those in the vinyl sample that I received a few months ago. With the vinyl sample, I could grasp the edges of the grill with my fingertips and pull it off quite easily, whereas with the wood samples I have to pry off the grills using an appreciable amount of force.
Also, to answer a previous question from sonicfox: in the samples at least, the scent of wood is very much present.
