[QUOTE="chris, post: 51263, member: 352"] I would go for teak, kiaat,cherry,wallnut something with a close grain,so that you can sand it down to 1000+ grit before giving it some Danish oil and polishing it up. The problem with meranti is the big difference in the density of the grain, if you get a piece from near the core it weights about double than that of a piece from the outside. As for pine, it is very suitable for making roof trusses. ;) Where are based? [/QUOTE]
