Okay, what would be your choice of wood, other than bocote, to go with black phenolic in a riser? Post pics if you"ve got'em. Thanks
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Zebra wood........or Osage, Great contrast.
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

I've never seen it, but I currently have a Stalker Coyote FXT on order with phenolic in the center and claro walnut on the outsides. I think it's going to look fantastic.

I'm partial to a lighter wood also. Think one of the maples would look awesome.

Cocobolo would be my choice. I have a block of coco and want something dark with it, probably Makassar ebony.

La critique est aisée mais l'art est difficile.

I bet leopardwood would look pretty good, too.

For something complimentary I think any dark wood with a lot of (black grain) would be nice.I think black grain would compliment the Phenolic.MaCassor Ebony,Coco Bolo,Ziricote, Wenge.Bacote with a lot of dark grain.Black and White ebony.

I agree that Snakewood and Leopard wood would be good as well.

For contrast in a lighter color something like Tulipwood would look really nice.Tulipwood looks great with black.Tulip wood veneers would look great with that riser setup.
