I think compatible is more important than dark. Don't see many black suits with brown tie and shoes.

Jatoba is often marketed as African Cherry. If that is the case it is harder than Superman's kneecap, a bit stubborn. Its in a lot of elevator floors because...
A 160 pound woman, or man I guess, on 1/4" spiked heels turning in an elevator puts 2560psi on that spot on the floor. Worked with it a lot, sneak up on final size would be my best advise.

Makore = "African cherry", about as hard as oak.Originally Posted by Larry Edgerton
Jatoba = "Brazilian cherry", much harder.

Cherry would be a better choice.

You are correct I got the two mixed up, have done a lot of work with Makore as well. Sorry. I really wish sellers would just use one name.
Ok, Makore is great to work with from a stability standpoint, but the dust from Makore is terrible. Eyes will turn red, nose bleeds, will cause you to choke in about twenty seconds if you do not ahve proper protection.
