I need to pick a hardwood color

suel41452
10 years ago

I'm trying to pick the best hardwood color for NOT showing scratches. I like gunstock, but would butterscotch be better for not showing wear? Should I pick the lightest color I like? In other words, is lighter always better for not seeing scratches?
