I have a tight ziricote back set (too tight to make a flamenco back!) which now needs to be a three piece back. Can't make up my mind what wood to use.. I have a selection of woods but narrowed it down to these two.

Dilemma over, Mahogany.



Wayne Brown -> RE: Sunday evening dilemma - mahogany or cypress (Jan. 15 2017 21:23:44)

That would have been my choice!



Andy Culpepper -> RE: Sunday evening dilemma - mahogany or cypress (Jan. 15 2017 23:55:44)

For what it's worth, my vote would have been Cypress. Cafe con leche. But it appears that voting is closed[;)]

Depends upon your bindings but I would go cypress too.



TANúñez -> RE: Sunday evening dilemma - mahogany or cypress (Jan. 16 2017 1:43:20)

Cypress. I think it's a much nicer contrast.

I think ebony with ebony binding. [;)]

The reason for not choosing "cafe con leche" was because I have one already with santos rosewood/Cypress. Thanks to all for the comments fun to read :)

I would go for the cypress because you can stain it any color you want.

Tone it down or up, it is versatile.

Not that it matters s now, it I'd go with mahogany. At least in the white unfinished wood it seems to completely Kent the ziricote better.



Joan Maher -> RE: Sunday evening dilemma - mahogany or cypress (Jan. 22 2017 18:24:01)

I went for mahogany, I would never colour wood i am always true to material which comes from my days as a sculptor and architect.
