I have decided to take on a project and do a bit of woodworking and give it away as Christmas presents.
I am going to make the 3 tier in-box found on page 38 of the Woodsmith magazine which I think is the April 09 issue. (Vol 31/No. 182)
In the magazine they are using Maple and Cherry and I think it looks great. However, the Uncle that I am going to give this to has nothing but dark wood in his office. I need some suggestions of dark wood to replace the maple with and still have the dark\light contrast. I don't mine the thought of replacing the cherry either so if you have any suggestions for that as well then shoot them over.
I went to look at some Walnut today and discovered that HD does not carry any hard woods that I wanted to see. Does someone know of a place that I can get more types of wood in the North Dallas area? Also, I can't use rough cut wood as I do not have the equipment to cut it down to size.
