With the white color of the Coco3 and the MPI may I su ggest a darker 
wood. OPtions are to use a cheap wood like Pine or something like t hat and 
stain it to a darker color. Personally I would t hink  of using a more exotic 
tropical wood. Walnut will give you a very dark brownish color while Paduak 
will give you a a bright orange/brown color. 

Search the net for hardwoods and find something that will appeal to your 
liking. There is a bunch ou tthere and a good wood will accent the nicely. I 
do some hobby work with wood and a couple of my favorite woods are 
Purpleheart, Paduak, and Bubinga. May I even suggest Cocobolo.
