About a year ago, I was reading an article on staining poplar or pine
to imitate other woods like mahogany or cherry. I've looked through
all of the back issues of my magazines and now can't find the
article.
I am working on some stage props that I want to look like 17th
century
furniture pieces so this article or any other suggestions for sources
would be helpful to me. The wood doesn't need to be convincing up
close, just similar from about 30' away.

Thanks for any help,
