<p>[QUOTE="busryde, post: 1296749, member: 10891"]Argh!!! Despite Poplar opinion, Fruitwood is beautiful when stained! (See what I did there?) Fruitwood, aka Poplar, stains very nicely, it also takes paint well. It is a "softer" hard wood, but I think it's beautiful when done right either way. I will state my bias, I prefer wood grain over painted, but it's your piece, so make it a proud piece to pass onto your grandkids...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
