Re: 1.1m (43 inch) Wenge Euro Speargun

I like both color combinations. Its a shame to hear about the rock maple de-lam issue. I have made several guns with maple, I hope mine (and yours) don't suffer the same fate.

This one (the smaller of the two) is still going strong, Maple and Ipe'. It's a couple years old and spends lots of time on the bottom marking abalone. The larger one is also Maple and Ipe', but it doesn't get much use.

There are many different maple woods and some have very different stability profiles and density
