Considering alternative wood options for the inlay can be a great way to add some personality and uniqueness to your handmade piece.
Monkey's paw wood (also known as Bubinga or Guibourtia demeusei) is indeed a beautiful, dark option that might just fit the bill. The darker tone could provide an interesting contrast with the rest of the cross, especially if it has a lighter-colored main material.
What are your thoughts on using monkey's paw for the inlay? Are you drawn to its distinctive grain pattern or the deep, rich color?
(Also, love the enthusiasm for woodworking and handcrafted goods!)
