That's gonna be real sweet! I love contrasting colors like that. I
just did an Urn with a cherry box surrounmded with Maple columns and
top and bottom. Came out pretty nice if I say so myself. Only charged
them $100

Thank you! White Oak and cherry are not two woods that you would
normally think would go together well. Three years ago I built a
bedroom that used white and red oak and cherry. It did not turn your
stomach. ;~)

I am looking more for the contrast and color differences. Cherry and
maple go together real well but I wanted something darker.


try purpleheart. with shellac it turns pretty dark purple-brown-ish.



I have never ever had any luck with purple heart staying purple. For me
it always turns brown. It would look cool in purple heart and maybe,
zebra! ;~)
