Exotic wood beds

[rlm316]

I was planning on using teak for the bed in my '70, even went as far as to start picking up the wood. The other night a friend stopped by and the topic of my truck and the progress or lack of came up. I told him about the teak and how the wife let me know just how nice of a shelf it would make, so if I don't use it soon she will try to hijack it. It just so happens that he has access to some really nice exotic woods and now he has my thought processes all messed up. He set the hook pretty deep so I am leaning towards either bobinga





or cocolobro





Could you please give me some feedback on this. Has anyone ever worked with these woods and what precautions should I be aware of? I didn't see anything about either wood checking or warping. Thanks, Lane.
