You can wish for just about anything but the choices come down to about these three: 1. natural aging, often uneven and not everyone appreciates the "look" , 2. very high maint trying to keep that "pretty wood" look, and 3. an opague stain that gives a nice uniform appearance but pretty much hides the look of the wood, except for the texture which shows through.

Choose wisely, grasshopper.
