Re: Seeking: dark wood
In Response To: Seeking: dark wood (Marie)
: I'm taking a college woodworking class and am making my project out of strips
: much in the same way as a kayak. I'm trying to find a darker, somewhat
: flexible wood to use as accent strips with ash and mahogany. I've used
: darker cedar before but for this project I'm really trying to stay away
: from cedar. Any suggestions?
: Thanks.
Might try Cypress, it's dark colored, fairly cheap and available, also fairly light. Does tend to have a bit of a wild grain.
