I would think cherry or walnut would be safe choices. A lot of the exotics can be too taste specific. Just use a natural stain and a clear coat. Make sure you see samples by whoever is doing the work for you.
What is the most popular wood finish ?
I am looking for opinions on wood veneers for my speakers that i am going to resell . I am about to have them professionally redone for resale . Any opinions on species that would bring me top dollar ? Maple , cherry, mohagony, are a few i am considering . Or is a black gloss automotive paint a good idea ? Thanks all .
