BattleRifleG3 16 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 (edited) Are you sure padauk is rosewood? It's good material for gun furniture but I don't think it's rosewood. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padauk http://www.woodmagazine.com/wood/story.jht...iles_padauk.xml Rosewoods are highly irritant and require substantially more ventillation and respiration, and are 1.5-2x as expensive as Zebrawood. If someone offered a rosewood set for less than a zebrawood set, that would be most impressive. Offering a zebrawood set at such a low upgrade price IS impressive. Where I shop, zebrawood costs 3x as much as padauk. Got any closeups of some of the items, particularly the flared Galil style zebrawood grip? Looks a lot like this one and I wonder if they're related. http://forum.saiga-12.com/uploads/post-6-1...38182_thumb.jpg Please take this in the most amiable manner.

BattleRifleG3, Enclopedia Britanica uses the terms Padauk and Rosewood interchangably. See http://www.britannica.com/eb/topic-85572/Burmese-rosewood. The red colored sets we produce are Padauk. Sorry for any unintented confusion. I've experienced the irritant nature of some exotic woods and use a dust collection system, when working with such woods. The grip profile was based on an artistic interpretation of Galil pistol grip examined. Thanks for the kind words. Terry... Link to post Share on other sites
BattleRifleG3 16 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 What I was getting at with rosewoods and filtration is that whatever a person typically needs for other woods, they need more for rosewoods. The rosewoods I'm familiar with are cocobolo and morado, both of which are very fine, dense, hard, and expensive. Padauk is hard, but not as dense (which isn't a bad thing) and not as expensive (also not a bad thing.) I was just wanting to make the distinction between a good price and a jaw-dropping price. Guess we had the same idea about the Galil style grip, that flaring it is an ergonomic and visual improvement. People will often ask me to copy an existing style of grip (usually a rare foreign one), which I do as well as I can. But no matter how much they paid me, I would have a hard time replicating any grip as close as your grip was to mine. Interestingly enough, I've seen a Russian grip or two where I look very closely at the shaping marks and think "Hmm, they made this the same way I would have." Good to know I'm on the right track.
