Greetings All, I am undergoing a home renovation and have seen pictures of Asian (mostly Japanese) styled interiors featuring a lot of native (to them ?) wood details. If I had to guess what our equivalent here in the US would be, it seems like straight grained Doug Fir may be close. As much as I like trusty ol' red oak, I getting somewhat tired of using the same material over and over. Does anyone have any experience with Asian decor, with a recommendation of what type of wood will replicate a typical Japanese interior? BTW, I will DAGS right after this and am looking around for a few books also. But it seems like there's always someone in the (Hard) wRECk that comes through. Many thanks for your time. Mark L. BTW, I am stocking up on teak, but at the bd ft prices I will save it for bath cabinets only.
