Can anyone identify the wood type of this striker, I've had it for a long time and can't remember where I got it. It plays good an a variety of pots. Also do the call makers usually refrain from staining them. I'm not sure if this is a dark color wood or just stained to look dark?

Maybe gaboon ebony?
It's for sure a production striker because it came from awhile back when that's all I had. So likely a Primos or HS Strut. But it plays good on all my pots including my newer custom ones.
Possibly Wenge. ???
Weigh it and give dimensions
Wenger if light,
mex ebony if heavy
Is tip dark too?

The tip is lighter, but all my strikers seem to have a lighter tip
325 gn
7 1/2" long

The light colored tip is because its un finished wood...
Def not wenge, you'd see the grain....and very confident a production striker is not going to be gaboon ebony.
Your camera skills need a little work....lol
A crystal clear close up of the wood may be able to get you closer to an answer.
Is 324 gn light or heavy?
I just weighed 3 other one piece strikers of similar length
270 gn Purple heart
280 gn Blood wood
332 Gn Hickory
So i guess its somewhere in the middle.
Looks like wood to me .......
probably katalox
African blackwood , same wood that trumpets are made from...
