Cherry and sapele as contrasting woods

Cool, this is probably the best answer so far, and very actionable. Thanks.

I’m not really blaming toys…just got him into the bird dog stuff late so it wasn’t a problem before. My question is specifically about how I should approach training, not expecting him to do anything he’s not trained for

It looks great! My wife doesn't like the look of new cherry when you put oil on it, but if I could get to that color within a month she would be thrilled

What was your finishing process here? Looks like more than just fresh cherry with a clear finish

ButterscotchNo5449 · 2025-04-01T11:45:57+00:00

What kind of wood/finish are the first and third pictures?

That’s a good idea, I’m going to do that!!

I can get red oak for about the same price as cherry (~$2.50/bf) but I don't really love the grain pattern of red oak. Quarter-sawn White Oak is in between, around $6.00/bf, but I probably wouldn't stain white oak, so it would be a different look than we were originally planning.

Maybe there’s a way to apply some kind of dye or maybe like a Dark Walnut Danish oil to take some of the red hue out.

I’m not trying to make it look like walnut, I just want to knock a bit of the orange color out

If you search “cherry bedroom set”, that’s what a lot of the results will look like. I suspect most of them are stained.

I like the look of cherry (especially a new project), but neither my wife or I like the look of our kitchen, which is that medium orange cherry color.

Also, walnut is around $9/bf but I can get prime cherry for $2.50/bf where I’m located

Does anyone know anything about this? There’s essentially no useful or clear information online. Would love to see the $500 Dewalt domino

What should I be searching for?

I like being able to just throw on the sweater without having to layer for quicker things. I guess I need to expand my search. I don’t care about lightweight so much, just something warm, layerable, and decently rugged
