You do want a lighter wood color under the Copperhead skins.  They are real thin and will lose a lot of their magic over dark wood by blending in.

Brandon I bet some osage veneers on the back and belly with rosewood riser and some rosewood and osage accents would look sharp with them skins. Osage and rosewood actually sounds like a pretty sweet combo.

 Maybe an osage stripe in your rosewood riser with some rosewood overlays on the tips.

 Man I'm getting a picture in my head that is making me drool...........

Stiks,
you were drooling at cooper head skins so, I bet you go thru key boards the way Joe goes thru a stave.
