Identify Wood ???

[Norme]

Hi Rich,
I know oak sounds un-exotic, but how about "Heart of Oak"? This was the wood used to build the British Navy during the Napoleonic Wars and if I'm not mistaken, was used for the keel of the U.S.S. Constitution as well.

Norm - Buck must think it's 'exotic', as the Custom Shop offers it as an option. (Or they used to; some options have been discontinued).

I like it. I'm wondering if a Luger would look good with Oak grips. It's pretty grainy; would it take checkering without looking all 'chippy'???
