What wood would be best to use for a retro style sideboard?
This is a school project actually going towards my final grade for college I have a few months to make it. I was thinking of using teak but I remember being told that teak is very hard to work with. What would be a good type of wood to use?
http://www.retromoderndesign.com/images/2146.jpg
This is an example of the sorta thing I was gona make. I'd like the wood to be that sort of shade as well.
That particular piece is most likely a veneered product, and not solid lumber. Veneers have been around a long time.
Today, you can actually purchase plywood with a selection of surface veneers pretty easily.... anything from mahogany, to oak, birch, ash, maple... all kinds of choices. There are even some 'manufactured' wood grains in use commercially. You're looking for something with a relatively straight grain.
You need to ask yourself, do you want to do the veneer work yourself? or purchase something already veneered?
Veneering can be very complex - check this out -
http://www.veneertech.com/
Take time to browse the past winners - they're really very good. I especially like the 2008 Grand Prize winner, hehe.
More complex pieces are likely to get your instructor's attention, and perhaps, a better grade, hehehe.
Rockler has a decent collection of veneering tools and supplies should you wish to check them out -

I'm a lifelong woodworker, both commercially, and just for the enjoyment of it. Every room in my home has something I've built, hehe - lots of practice. If you'd like to discuss your project more, feel free to email me.
Have Fun
