I use American cherry heartwood a lot; it is one of my favorites. The heartwood turns a light golden brown when coated with clear, flat urethane. The sapwood is about as hard, but it is almost as white as maple. Cherry is about as hard as rock maple and as easy to burn with routers and power saws. The heartwood can have a lot of large grain like oak but select pieces are almost clear.

The real problem here is getting someone to make grips that FIT. I contacted Nill about using other wood types and received a negative response.
