Actually I think Rosewood binding with a side purfling line looks nice and of course there's always Koa and Ebony's pretty standard, but can look like plastic.

Terry, what Jim said, Russell Rose has also used EIR bindings with EIR back and sides with a lighter colored purf line and it was just awesome. Koa would also look great and wenge also. |

I might know some one who has EIR with a .020 maple purf attached and then they might also have maple .020 on it's own for the end graft  . I also have Koa with the same detail. And Ebony on it's own that the purfs would need to be added if you wanted. For a real KILLER look, BoZOOT has snakewood that really looks great. I would compete with him on those if I could only find some! Since I can't I just buy from him  . Also, Colonial Steve has some great BRW which is just different enough to give you a subtle contrast but still looks stunning.
The only other non-maple thing I have is EIR with bwb for a 'darker' mood. Plus I have maple, EIR, Koa and Ebony without any purfs attached. It is a tough call but there are some choices. Shane |

Todd, that's a great way of treating that area to eliminate the "line", and it looks great. Nice idea. |
