Ron is correct, the edges of the front arch and the trim were sometimes toned dark and sometimes lighter to match the front arch. I prefer the later, the core of the arch and the trim parts were a less expensive white wood such as gum or poplar. I try to tone them the same color as the front of the arch. This gives the appearance of the arch being a solid piece of mahogany.
