Im about to build another box, this one a TV/entertainment unit.
Just a 5 foot long top, with some doors, and shelves.
Im going to use maple for top, maple for legs, spalted maple for door panels and sides.
And I want to mix it up a bit and use sycamore for the the faceframe and door stiles and rails.
Is this stuff easy to work with? Does it plane and joint easy enough?
Will it take stain or will oil finish it nicely?
any info would be appreciated, I never touched sycamore before this.
