Anybody have a good resource for ideas about wood pairing?

For instance, Walnut was recommended as a nice contrast to Mahogany for the project below:


I'm looking for ideas, possibly for Teak, but am not finding what I want...

I searched for a thread on the topic and could not find one, yet I've seen many great pairings in the past. Please share both links to ideas sites or pictures of your projects...

Thanks!

For me I think about colors and what will work in my room (or whomever I’m building for) and how crazy I can go before my wife reigns me back in. Right now I’m doing scarlet red dye on oak with a back grain fill. Google ceruse finish and you should see some pretty cool ideas. The guitar guys seem to have a lock on creativity
