I've just finished getting my shop set up and i'm ready to find some wood.
I've been commissioned to build a box in a reddish wood. i don't think the client cares or knows much about the wood choice. i'm still trying to decide if i should find some mahogany or try to get a dark red stain into some red oak. haven't done much with tints and stains yet so will have to learn to do that.
the box is approximately a 12" cube and one side will be glass. since he doesn't care much about the species is getting something like mahogany too expensive?
i can get red oak at the borg, but where can i find more premium hardwood around south georgia or north florida, carolina ?...i'm willing to travel a couple hours.
thanks,
andy
