RichardA Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 There are a ton of choices. Find the one that looks good to you, and go from there. It's your taste that gets you motivated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 But stick to hardwoods. You might read through some of the Project Journals and the Guild section to see examples and get ideas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 My opinion is find the wood that is the shade of tan or brown that you want the furniture to end up. This will alow you to apply clear finishes which will look better and give you less headaches. If you are adamant about adding color to the wood stick with woods like red oak, ash, or white oak that accept color without blotching. If you are goign to paint, go with a cheaper wood that has small pores, like soft maple or poplar possibly pine. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnG Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Pretty sure this is a bot user. They posted another thread (which has since been removed) with a link to an affiliate marketing site, their profile links to a similar site, and their profile pic is a stock image. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
