My wife wants me to build a buffet for the dining room, and paint it
black. (I am loathe to do it, but a happy wife makes for a happy
workshop). My question is this, I was thinking of making it out of
pine since it will be painted and finished with probably a poly.
Should I go with a hard wood instead? or maybe make the body out of
pine and the top out of a hard wood? Thanks for any help.
