I have laminate flooring that meets tile flooring in a doorway. I need to create my own moulding for the seam. What is a good wood that is 1) durable, 2) can be routed (router) and 3) stained (for Marbau).
The flooring color is Marbau. What stain would be best with what wood? I have not seen Marbau in Home Depot.
Don't have a clue about color, but white oak makes some pretty good moulding and is easily worked.

Maple machines well and wears well, but may be a problem coloring to match the flooring. You could try to match to the tiles instead.

Enough merbau to make such a molding should cost under 30 bucks (assuming that it's actually a _door_ and not a 100 foot wide archway or something), it machines well, stains well, should be as durable as the rest of the floor, and the grain will match as well.
