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?

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.

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.

270 gn Purple heart
280 gn Blood wood
