Personally, I like the EIR but since this is a DIY/custom building I was thinking maybe there's an option C that might be more to my liking. Basically, I'm looking for something that contrasts with the cedar and mahogany but I want a darker material dividing them, not a lighter one. I'd also prefer wood binding. What are some good choices? Cocobolo? Walnut? Ebony?
Walnut is free. I used Walnut binding on #1
