Need a wood suggestion

[fiferb]

I have a client that is looking for a wood that is the color of honey. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

When I think of honey, I think of a mellow golden yellow.
Surprise, surprise: heart pine or longleaf pine with BLO and turpentine may emulate honey.

I've got some caribbean heart pine that I think is just that; what'd you think:

I've also seen mesquite and DIW that is honeyish to me; dark honey.
Just my thoughts,
Gary

How about lacewood or leopardwood?

There were some very nice old pine posted a while back, look in the classified. It was about 100 years old if I remember and he had quite a bit

Best wood I can think of that is "honey" colored would something like Canarywood.

Maybe Pecan... if you find some nice stuff

How about this:

Black locust burl. Currently on ebay for $15.

Would this work? It even attracts bees[)]
Box Elder with blo the color one I guess.
Good luck

Osage Orange. But, keep in mind all woods darken with age.

Just looked on AS and he has some stabilized BEB and CM both dyed gold that look honey colored.
