Q: Thank you Richard. Hopefully we can get this one going. Do you have any other suggestions on a rotary cut face that would look elegant in a professional office? Keeping in mind we need to case and hang it as well
A: That is a difficult question to answer as it is a subjective type of response. I know your client is looking at a medium type stain which will mask much of the woods natural texture, tone warmth, grain structure etc.
I am personally not a fan of staining wood whatsoever as I would be looking to select the wood type based on its natural grain structure, color and properties.

But it is unusual to see anything orther than birch cut in the rotary fashion (although oak doors are not unheard of to be cut rotary).
You mention elegant. Since the net result of a combination of wood specie and cutting method, it is hard to know what would be elegant to the client, but when I think of elegant, rotary cutting does not come to mind regardless of the wood specie.
