Dense et heavy = more work and more problems with wood faulting itself. But black is good background colour, classic. Don't go snakewood, cauchemar! You will not sleep with clients complaining. Splits faster than an American wife. Doesn't polish with oil too well. Client must be told no snake is in stock, let them hiss.

Ah oui jsix, I feel your subtle moves. An Autumn child of the 70s? Browns, reds, a little bright here and there but not a lot? A time you yearn, when Rosewood is very popular?
Problem - now is a time of contrast again, ze pink mirrors and roof on ze car wiv ze black mini body. If not contrast, then just unitary colour allover. Nothing in between.
This translates into the love of black on cues, or simple marbled ebony, or a ton of snake against ash, or black with many bright or luminous veneers ala Parris cue maker. It is the taste of today, contrast, less complimentary palette; look at me, look at me! You know, this i generation.
So you fly in the face of gaudy (I don't mean plain black). C'est la vie.
But black (or strong brown) is classic. It says utility and simple, timeless taste.
Do you like mahogany?
