...when I'm expecting a package from the Zootman. Yesterday was so fun, this beautiful--and amazing--set of African mahogany arrived from BobC. You did it again, Bob! Many thanks for some of the most interesting wood in the marketplace. 
Now--what kind of bindings to put with this??? Steve |

I love to see the Fed-x truck as well as UPS. I just hate when that darn AMEX bill arrives.

Thanks Steve. Glad you like it. Speaking of brown how about wenge with maple/wenge perflings? |

I think because of the prevelent figuring, the binding should be solid and contrast: ebony, bloodwood, |

Golden rule #2 (#1 is never tell your wife how much it cost!) The Zootier the wood the more plain the binding. Just my opinion. Colin |

I like Colin's rules (both rules, the wife thing and the binding thing) I would use BRW or like Bob suggested, Wenge, or Ebony. Or a dark cocobolo with a little reddish figure. or you could go with boxwood to keep things light and elegantly simple. |
