Hi all. Working on the stock now for the special build

Unfortunately the Cocobolo is just not dry enough to work with, and zebrawood is pretty much impossible to find in 3" stock in any large size. We are left with 3 viable options

Bocote. Most expensive and dried 4 years. Is pretty oily so it may crack.


Bubinga. Middle ground, kiln dried and ready.


Padauk. Kiln dried and ready Cheapest and my personal favorite. As it oxidizes it turns almost a burgundy walnut color.


So I'll leave it to a vote. Reply 1 for Bocote, 2 for Bubinga, and 3 for padauk.

Zebrawood Laminate



Yes, everyone can have a laminate but no one has a Zebrawood Laminate. I have been wanting to do one in that since I got this duplicator. EK Marlin and I have even discussed it a time or two. I really like the Bubinga but a Zebrawood Laminate would be someting else too. Just sayin!
