has anyone made a cage using an exotic hardwood, like cocobolo?

Expensive, but nice.
I work with wood every day at my job but sad to say at the end of the day I don't have time to make pretty cages for me. They end up ugly but useful. I guess my chams don't care and they are only going in my herp room but still. As a picture framer my dream would be making a cage entirely out of picture moulding and wire. I would have to coat the leafed moulding with polyurethane or something to make it safe and durable. It will probably land me in the poor house but One day. Ta dah! and there it will be. In all its golden glory!

anson i'm picturing your "dream cage" like something with a roaring 20's theme. i say that because my dad is in the middle of putting up crown moulding around his down stairs living area and it's very ornate! that would be some cage for a chamelon for sure! great gatsby watch out!! lol

about a two years ago i was going to MAKE my wife a jewerly box, she doesn't really have much jewerly but every girl needs a nice place to put the shiny stuff righ? anyway after buying the tools i needed to MAKE this special box i decided before i bought the good wood($80 worth!!) i'd make one out of plywood to see how it would turn out....well i made a special piece of junk. uneven and unsightly!! i never bought the good wood. in fact i ended up selling thise same tools i bought for the project! i figure a cage has got to be easier then a jewlery box! lol
