We will use this set for the back. The dark wood is the heartwood and the light collered section are the sapwood.

This is a picture of the side pieces. These are called a bookmatched set because they are sequential pieces cut from a single log. When the pieces are opened up like the pages of a book they present a symetrical patern around the center line.

This is a picture of the Spanish Cedar set we are going to use for the top. The warm and rich red color of this set will compliment the Cocobolo nicely.
