G’day! I’ve been searching on the internet for an answer for a while and haven’t really found an answer to this question no matter what combination of search words I use. I bet this has been asked before, but my experience of the search function in the Taunton forums has been less than stellar. I’m fixing to start on a bar for our “pub” (den) for which I want to order a couple of carved corbels. To match the wainscoting and other woodwork in the room I intend to use oak ply and molding stained a dark walnut color (Minwax.) I’ve been shopping for corbels for while now, and while the easiest thing to do would be to just get oak corbels, the ones I like best are almost invariably out of maple or some other wood. I would suspect because of the carving qualities. I can imagine that getting a good, crisp carving in red oak would not be all that easy. Is it at all possible to get these two woods anywhere close to the same color? I’ve never done anything quite like this before although I have made a a few cabinets for utility use and whatnot, and I’m quite looking forward to the challenge. At the same time I don’t relish mucking up about $100 worth of corbels either!
