muirapiranga wood

I like the color of this wood but I feel that i will not be able to find anything to complement it well,
bubinga

I like this wood for its unique pattern but in order to achieves a nice pattern it will take a lot of sanding and waxing in order to bring out the pattern
koa wood

I like this wood because it looks very unique compared to all of the other wood but when buying the wood it is very hit or miss to whether you get a nice piece of wood or a bland cut of wood.
wenge

I like this wood for I feel that it will be easy to wax and bring out a nice pattern as well as the fact that the color will look good with most other woods or materials, but this wood is a lot harder than the other woods which can make it difficult to work with
purple heart wood

I like this wood for its unique natural color but I feel that it is more of a novelty and would not look that nice in a actual product.
Mahogany

I like this wood because it has a nice warm color as well as providing one of the best acoustics of all the woods but it is extremely expensive compared to all the other woods available.
Korina wood

I like this woods pattern and how it is somewhat easy to work with but i do not like its green ish color and feel that it would need to be dyed if i were to use it in my project.
Basswood

This wood is the most simple and cheapest of all of the woods. It is a very vanilla wood and is just an ace of all trades wood.
