I really like Etimoe, especially when it is quarter figured and leans more to the brown side with black grain running through it. This home is perfect for Etimoe. The house is contemporary in style and has lots of light. The wood is dark and really stands out with natural light and white tones of paint. We have used Etimoe in darker settings as well and it looks just as nice. It's really hard to find Etimoe lumber so we usually use Peruvian Walnut when we need dimensional lumber to accompany the veneer. A lot of the Etimoe that we see isn't all that great so we have a tendency to look far and wide before we find a flitch we like. That doesn't mean that our customer is looking for the same thing so we work with what they like.
