Striped Macassar ebony is a rare and expensive hardwood which is great for back and sides on acoustic guitars. Similar to African blackwood. It pares well tonally with softer tops like redwood.

Brazilian rosewood
This is 40 yrs aged straight grained Brazilian rosewood. Wikipedia - "Dalbergia nigra, commonly known as the Bahia rosewood, Jacarandá da Bahia, Brazilian rosewood, Rio rosewood, Jacarandá De Brasil, pianowood, caviuna, or obuina, is a species of legume in the Fabaceae family. It is found only in Brazil, from the eastern forests of Bahia to Rio de Janeiro. It is threatened by habitat loss, since most of its habitat has been converted to farmland. Due to its endangered status, it was CITES-listed on Nov. 6 1992 in Appendix I[1] (the most protected), and illegal to trade."
