If you love the meandering gold and espresso streaks in marblewood from Brazil or the ripples in rambutan from Indonesia but worry about logging practices in such far-flung locales, let this purveyor of responsibly harvested exotics ease your conscience.

Shown (from top to bottom), approximate per-square-foot base prices: rambutan, $10; marblewood, $8; Brazilian ebony, $10; black poisonwood, $8; and macacauba, $7; Good Wood
