I'm constructing a "cigar bar" for my daughter's upcoming wedding.  Bottom
is traditional frame & panel, already painted a "colonial blue".  The top
will be constructed of poplar, mainly because I'm not sure if the bar will
have any use after the reception, so I don't want to sacrifice the cherry or
walnut I have squirrel away.

Anyhow, I looking to this list for some finishing suggestions to make the
poplar look "cherry" like!  I've been thinking of an aniline dye and some
sort of film top coat.  Any suggestions or warnings?  I also apologize for
this post for being a bit "off topic".

Thanks!

T.Z.
