Teak vs goncalo alves: which to stain
Hey guys, I bought some wood in preparation for making a chessboard, and I might have made a minor mistake in that both of these may age the same color. I have heard that goncalo alves darkens with age however I can't figure out what teak turns to besides grey with age, as all the pictures online are in regards to decks/ furniture/ stuff that is outside 24/7, which is a little different from my chessboard application. I am thinking about which one to stain a darker color or brighten up if possible for the best possible contrast down the road. Teak left alves right.
