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.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

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 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

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
