There doesn't seem to be any point to spending money on more mahogany if she

I have any problem getting it dark, or does it spotch like maple? Maybe
birch? A bit more expensive, but more interesting grain. Whatcha think?


I think you should use tinted clear coats and enjoy a dark and
splotch-free item.
