Really any dark wood will go well and Osage if very nice with it if you like a little brighter colors for a while.  When the osage ages it gets very nice with the bubinga.

We just made a couple of risers for a customer in Italy with Bubinga that are very handsome.

I'm making one right now with bubinga and curley maple. I think it will look real classy.

I like the looks of my bubinga and katalox,which is a dark wood, RER but think most any dark wood would look good,like so many have said.

Anything that is light colored with a lot of grain, to contrast with the dark color with little grain pattern.  Bubinga riser with red elm limbs looks great.  Bubinga and zebrawood riser looks great.
