Small Walnut/Koto Tankard with brass hoops

 Walnut is the darkest of the woods I routinely use, and is usually a dark chocolate colour, although it often contains lighter streaks. Koto is a straw-coloured wood. Most people prefer a subtle contrast, but for those who like a strong contrast, the contrast between the dark Walnut and the pale Koto is one of the strongest contrasts I can get.
