I'm partial to Bois D'Arc. Has more flexibility than Oak and will hold a point longer than Hickory. I also think it is a prettier wood and age darkens beautifully.

You sir are a man after my own heart!

Bois D'Arc or more commonly known in this neck of the woods as osage orange, is one of the hardest known woods next to Iron wood from africa.

Makes great strikers for slate turkey calls(that I make). If I make one out of walnut, or another hardwood, I can make three before having to sharpen a tool. With osage orange, I have to sharpen twice to finish one.


Two outside ones are osage orange

I thought this was a 1911 thread not an old timer wheel gun thread. And yes K's are better than J's:w000t:

Whoa! I have the latest 1911's as well as the latest whatevers, as well as some wheel guns made as far back as 1918. Got a semi auto from that time frame as well. Wheel guns are not old timers. Some of the latest offerings from the manufacturers are wheel guns for concealed carry that are bobbed, and so on.

If I had kept the same clothes that I wore in Junior High School, they would be in fashion right now......
