What I find frustrating is that people say they want cherry or walnut or whatever then you ask them what color they want it. They go silent... People now because of mass produced crap associate a type of wood with a color. When they say cherry that means a form of red same with mahogony and dark brown for walnut and they all assume oak is light in color. Funny thing is 99% of the stuff out there is made from red oak and just stained a color and people see that color and think cherry. It's really hard to get people to understand that the color is the stain not the wood type. In the church project people keep asking if it's cherry and no it's not except for the crown moulding which is very nice cherry but once stained is indistinguishable from oak to the general public anyway. I like hickory flooring but it isn't popular here cause it looks like a warehouse floor. I saw allot of hickory flooring in Ohio.Gives the refurbed farm houses a ski lodge feel. So much is regional as well. Here there is everything not many current trends other than travertine tile is popular cause it looks good and it's relatively cheap compared to some tiles.
