I have just finished building a piece of furniture that is made of rock maple.
"She who must be obeyed" as deemed that I should stain it darker. Not a nice
honey colored tint, but as dark as I can get it. The term "rock" maple is an
appropriate one, I've seen granite with better penetrating ability. Does anyone
out there have some experence with staining rock maple? Would a paste stain
help?
