I think that the more stuff you build the fussier you become about your wood selection. You can't always build with the best or most interesting wood. Sometimes the wood isn't suitable, sometimes it's unaffordable. I don't have a problem with coloring it. People have been coloring wood for a very long time- ammonia, soda, iron... Anyway- I have never found rotary-cut luan (er- I guess it's "mahogany" when you buy BS1088, right?) attractive. Or, to be fair, I don't really find any rotary-cut veneer attractive.
