I was curious whether anyone had experimented with a light gold/bronze stain for a lighter wood?
Say perhaps a flamed maple with a light stain - could this get some of the koa look?
I'm imagining there are flamed woods out there which are cheaper than hawaiian koa - which could be made to give the koa effect?
I'm not advocating pulling the wool over people's eyes - just thinking about getting a relatively cheaper faux alternative?
