wood use query - wood movement
 

Are you planning to use it in hidden areas and want a less expensive wood,
or are you wanting a complimentary wood for surface areas? I made a chest
of drawers of oak and padauk, with the padauk used for the raised side
panels and the drawer fronts. After the padauk darkened from exposure to
light, they look nice together. harrym

Folks -

What wood would make a good secondary wood for use in a solid oak wood
dresser? I'd like to find something that would match flatsawn and also
quartersawn white oak in terms of wood movement. My default setting would
be poplar, but I thought I'd post here and get some feedback.

TIA\

Poplar it is, if wood movement is your concern.
