What cheap wood will look good stained dark?
The wood furniture in our living room is all dark. A very old mahogany
desk, a very old cherry table, and a dark piano of unknown wood. (I am going to guess mahogany with a tinted laquer) Two years ago I made a mahogany coffee table and stained it to match the desk. Now my wife wants a couch; wood frame with cushions. We talked about the wood. Apparently grain means nothing to her; she just want it about as dark as the mahogany pieces. There doesn't seem to be any point to spending money on more mahogany if she can't tell the difference. I though maybe beech because it is cheap. Will 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? |
