Traditionally, the Arts and Crafts/Mission style utilizes quartersawn oak or cherry to achieve the classic look. Well, I'm not traditional......besides, I can't afford either when I've got plenty of maple and walnut on hand.
I've seen some of the Greene and Greene look and it seems they didn't follow too many rules about wood species. I really like the look of contrasting walnut with maple......has anyone used that combination with the Arts and Crafts style? I'm thinking of a Mission bedroom set. Or does this sound a little odd? Thanks for your replies.
