Tom,

In the final photo of your example

Is that zebra wood you use for the frame. If not can you tell me what you
did use. In the past I have use zebra wood but it ain't cheap.


I would call that Walnut.

Zebra is typically not that dark and the grain is greatly darker than the
rest of the wood.
