If you like wood -- really, really like wood -- Wood You has the raw goods to sate your inner lumberjack. By "raw," we don't mean the Jacksonville-headquartered chain store will hand you a log and a planer; in fact, everything here is preassembled. It sells all its furnishings unfinished, leaving the staining to the customer and even providing the kits you need for the job. (However, there's no law against leaving 'em nude, if that's your thing.) The smorgasbord of tempting timber for every room in the house includes sturdy oak or aspen bookcases; pine cabinets; an alder computer armoire; Shaker, Mission and French-style desks; kitchen tables and chairs; and bedroom nightstands and dressers. And don't worry too much about flubbing the finishing: Follow the instructions on the DVD included with your staining kit, and if you're unhappy with your handiwork, Wood You's experts will help salvage your project.
