Advice on finishing alternatives needed
I'm contemplating building an "entertainment center" which will
basically consist of a pair of tall bookshelf units (with lower doors, adjustable shelves), a rolling TV stand (with glass doors/adjustable shelves), and a "bridge" unit which will connect the two bbokshelves. The room this is going into has planked natural walnut walls (diagonal tongue & groove), and I'm probably going to use birch for the system and attempt to stain/finish it to resemble walnut. Walnut is a little too pricey for this project, so the birch seemed to be a good alternative... something I can get readily at HD or Lowes in both plywood or solids. I also thought about cherry or maybe mahogany, but it was just a thought. So the real question is what my finishing options might be, and I don't have a spray booth so everything has to be hand-applied whether it's wiped on or brushed on. Anyone want to offer some advice on readily available products that might fit the bill? Thanks in advance. Mike |
