Has anyone had any experience on working with Birdseye Maple?
How easy is it to hand plane?
Will it fade in the sunlight?
What would be the best finish?
I have the dreaded washing machine and tumble dryer in the conservatory and the intent is to box them in and make it look like a peice of furniture. The construction will be mainly panels with maple inlays to form the carcas and the same for the doors. The top will be of maple (not birdseye) probably 1 1/2" thick.
It looks such a nice wood and I think the two contrast will look alright together, but as usual I'm open to suggestion from the forum.
I have to get this one right because its soo expensive.
Thanks
