I'd like it a lot more if you did like an article on each one. Some of them I'm interested in knowing more about.

I dont think you can really say what the best tone wood is.. they all have different tones, whether you want bright, warm, deep, hollow or dull is really up to you. I dont really know what rattlesnake wood is or if it exists, so yeah. Hope i helped
