jessejames Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I need to know what kind of backing wood to put with this awesome piece of half flame half quilt maple. It's about 5/8" thick. Going to do a carve top on it. http://i.imgur.com/q1fkkvi.jpgJust wondering what I should put on the back of it. I have some really nice Curly Black Limba, 5A quality I would say, (Something like this)dut don't feel it would go well together. I also have some ribbon sapele, but not sure I wanna do this either.Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjr1515 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Hi That's quite a deep colour for maple (lovely, by the way!). If it was me, I'd probably go lighter for the back...something like alder. The alternative would be something very dark. I think sapele or mahogany would probably be too small a contrast.
