Wow, I forgot to say what I used !
I used maple for the rails and stiles and ash for the panels and top.I used a dark mahogany varathane gel stain for the ash panels and finished with wiping a few coats of polyurathane clear coat with a clean rag.
If I did it again I wouldn't have chosen that stain, I don't like how the grain didn't soak up the stain evenly on the ash/oak characteristic patten. It's too tiger like for my liking. I would have went with a natural color all around.
