Hi there! I'm an amateur with woodworking and thought this might be a good place to get a bit of advice.
We are currently having a new home built. Our builder wanted to use Masonite interior doors and paint them white. I'm not a huge fan of that idea.
We have Pella windows that have the interior wood (pine I believe) stained dark to look similar to Mahogony. This was done at the factory by Pella.
I'm thinking it might look really nice to have the interior doors stained a similar color. We are going with a 3 panel door, two long skinny panels at the bottom and one square on the top. It's a craftsman style home.
What type of wood would be appropriate for the interior doors? I've done some google searching and there seems to be Mahogany doors available, but I'm guessing they will be very expensive. I've also seen a lot of Poplar, but I was always under the impression that Poplar was very difficult to stain evenly.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
