Chrome for color finishes, Black for natural.
Black goes well especially with darker woods. Black hardware + Cocobolo top =

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2005 Location: Ormond Beach, Florida | | | I vote for wood. Honestly I think Black only looks good on lightly colored woods like Ash or Maple. Chrome really doesn't do it at all for me. Gold looks the best for metal knobs. However I think wood knobs (made from the same wood as your center stripe) would really look the best..
..But seeing as I'm likely to be by myself in this thinking..
..Gold.
