I am looking for suggestions on woods that compliment or go with Makore.
I called a lumber yard on the east coast to order some cherry and ended up buying 40+ bf of figured makore. Sounds like beautiful stuff and I can't wait to see it (I'll post a photo when it arrives). However, not having seen or worked with Makore before I have no idea what other woods compliment it or blend in well with it. My original plan for ordering the cherry was to build a dining room sideboard, and given the Makore is figured I'll probably use it for the top and drawer fronts. So, I'd like to find another wood for the frame, legs and sides. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Roger
