"In this clip we're going to look at how cherry stain on maple can give a very decent approximation of actual cherry. And believe me, staining maple is a a lot cheaper than buying cherry. Let's take look. This is cherry plywood that we looked at earlier, and here's a piece of maple that I've stained with a little bit of cherry stain. Now obviously you're not necessarily going to fool anybody that this is cherry, as you can see them side by side.
