Maple bar top with poplar railing?
My husband is building a bar. The top is maple, but the railing he bought is poplar. I warned him different wood types take stains very differently, but he said the cost of the railing would've been way too high if we got the matching maple, so he got poplar. I am fairly confident these 2 are not going to stain the same. So how do we handle this? We were thinking of staining the maple either "Special Walnut". Do we stain the railing the same way and accept the difference? Or does it need an entirely different stain for contrast? submitted by /u/BulbaKat [link] [comments]
