Wood


Top left: Before planing. Top right: after.
Bottom center: which of the three would make the nicest box?
(Note: the walnut board was planed by hand, the maple boards have only been rough-planed on a machine -- none of the three has been planed to a "finished" degree!)

    This is from your own shop? A bit of Chekov's Gun, here. I'm very eager to see what evolves.

    If there are no sonic issues involved, I would choose the darkest of the three for the cabinet.

    A little late, but I like walnut. Seem to be seeing Maple everywhere lately. Bank, office, library, university, even the food court at the mall...

    I agree with Monk, maple is kinda overused. But what about mixing them?
