I’m still working the design for my gun cabinet. I want to use solid wood. I’m considering the following, maple, white oak, ash, red oak, and birch I tend to like lighter woods and tighter grain that will not darken a lot over time. I’m planning on using Odies oil as I’ve done other creations and am able to get the touch me look I like. I’m figuring the birch or maple might be my best bet but ash is significantly less expensive as is red oak both these are 40% less than the other. I also plan on using Blum soft close hinges and hope two will be enough or should I use three. The door solid wood will be about50” x 16” x 3/4”.last question what would be a nice strong black lock to use.
Thanks for any help
