I am going to be making a couple nightstands to match our existing bedroom furniture. The included picture is the actual style/finish I am striving for. It is from the same company's web site that our existing furniture came from, and they claim it is maple. I would like to use maple as I have plenty on hand, but I am concerned about my finishing skills and being able to match this (at least come close). Anyone have any ideas on how one might achieve this color on hard maple, or have a species they would recommend using instead of maple?
Thanks!
