Bocote for a complimenting colors, Spalted myrtle for a contrasting color.

Gotta go with Bocote also.

Ya Bocote would be nice. You mean for limb veners?

Dirty Boo would work also.

I used flat cut walnut veneers the 2 times I used it. Would crossgrain cut brown actionwood be a choice? I am terrible at picking combos.

I have a little walnut riser bow with osage veneers--it looks pretty good to me.

Walnut Dymondwood...I'd say maybe red elm stained to match.

I'm with Spectre.......I think osage is the one. At first it will be a "contrast".....but it will become a "compliment". You can kill two birds with one stone.

I beliving incorporating dymondwood is a great. move.

The walnut dymondwood shades that I am familiar with are from medium to light.

There are many appealing combinations such as:
Stained Tamo Ash
Rose woods
Olive Ash
Tiger Myrtle

Hope you find the most over-all appealing combination.

Waterfall ash........

Good Zebra would be fantastic,. Myrtle wood is another I have uses . Bocate has already been mentioned. lightly stained fiddleback maple is great with it as is quilt maple. If you can get good claro walnut with a lot of lights then it is good. Of course the best would be high grade koa.

I gotta give koa

Steelhead · « **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2011, 04:27:00 PM »

I think Pacific Yew,Osage or myrtle would look great.

Tiger maple,Curly Maple or quilted maple stained to match would be nice.

Walnut with some cross cut grain. Ken

Holm-Made · « **Reply #19 on:** February 23, 2011, 05:04:00 PM »

Cherry would look nice or something reddish.

Opps, I thought you said gray/silvertone dymondwood and I thought cherry would look good. With Walnut I would think curly anegre would look great. Let me know if you need me to send you some. Chad
