I am doing a small jewelry box and I am using spalted maple as the main box. I am trying to come with a complimenting / contrasting wood that might work. Any ideas or photos that anyone would care to share? Thanks!
Mahogany, Cherry, Walnut or just about any dark wood would look good.
Maple, spalted or not always plays off well against any darker wood. I'm a Domestic wood kinda guy, so for me Cherry, and Walnut are present for that purpose. I use 80% Maple to all other woods, so the others really are for using as a secondary or accent wood.
Thank you very much for your opinions and pictures. This is helpful.
