this depends upon what you are looking for. Desert Ironwood will darken with age. If it begins dark and there is some nice figure the material will get darker, even in some cases to the point of obscuring the figure of the wood. The lighter material may not get that chocolat brown but will darken but usually the figure will be evident. Both have their beauty and either would be a great choice. Good luck with you choice.

It will probably depend on what Mike has available. I prefer ironwood burl, and I like it to have a combination of the lighter and darker tones.
