I am not very good a picking the wood I want to use on a project, most of the time it makes no difference in what I use, just how it looks with the different grain.
On this table I am going to make I just am not sure what to use, it will be stained somewhat dark, not black but dark, the grain will still show some.
I just don't know enough about the different woods at this point to know what to use. I want to keep the cost down somewhat so I don't want to use like walnut and you don't want to stain walnut. I have been thinking maybe Ash or Alder, from what I can see the grain looks ok.
If you guys could tell me what to use to build it I would sure appreciate it.
