well here she is...i decided to go with walnut, because from what ive heard its really strong and the lightest of the hard woods...my shop teacher told me that if this breaks he will order me some hickory...so far i love it, its not too heavy and i love the way it feels when you shoot, thos of you that own or have shot with a woodie know what i mean :love: ...soooo tell me wutcha think

looks pretty nice

personally i have 2 woddies one oak and one hickory and the hickory is much heavier then the oak but ive aslo had alot more complaints from ppl who have been hit by the hickory

but if your going for great feel on a shot and light weight id rock the oak i love mine (if urs breaks)

so yeah theres my 2 cents
but good luck with the wood
