From my personal opinion none, but I will probably be the minority here

I would browse the gallery and see what types of wood you like.

I have read the wiki on toxic woods, so I understand the importance of safety when working with those woods on the list.

Also, does anyone have any recommendations of what will look good around a Henckles?
