Yeah. Norm does that. Makes a wonderful project using a premium
wood, then stains the hell out of it (almost as bad a paint), sigh.

Never seen the show, but it gets right up my nose when blokes do that
sort of thing.
Worked for a furniture company once that specialised in making Jarrah
side boards and kitchens.
They used to make this real beaut piece out of sold Jarrah, then slap
Jarrah stain on it, "So as to even out the colour".
IMO they should have used merrantie or pine and whacked the Jarrah stain
on that. Leave the real stuff for blokes that appreciate real timber and
it's many colours and defects.
