Wood combinations, and contrast

[Derek Voigt]

So I have some pieces of Bocote and Cocobolo that I would like to incorporate into some small projects. I like the look of contrasting wood, like Mahogany and Maple together, but what can I mix with Bocote and/or Cocobolo that would look good sand not have to make a project all out of these expensive woods?

Thanks!

No one mixes bocote or cocobolo with any other woods?

Both those vary a lot and it is hard to recommend a contrast, as it might not be right for your wood. Some pics might get some specific ideas.

I mixed Cocobolo and Maple in a conference table for L7 Creative (pictures on their website). Looks pretty decent, but had to plane it smooth as the Cocobolo dust wanted to get into the Maple pores.

Thanks I'll take a look.

I have a good amount of Jatoba. I was thinking amount making an end table with Jatoba legs and top and the sides from cocobolo...
