2 Strikers From Jeff (JLH) First is Spalted Maple Hickory and the second is a Frogwood striker.

I should mention that Jeff went out of his way to make these strikers for me, I have a problem with thinner strikers because of a car accident I was in back in 88 & Jeff took the time to make these a wider diameter so that I do not have pain in my hands while using them. Thanks again Jeff.

I'm not surprised Jeff did that for you. Great guy and customer service . Excellent choices on the strikers as well.

Good looking strikers Steve. Jeff is a top notch guy to deal with in my book.

Nice set you got there SD.

I've got to talk to Jeff about a Frogwood like that. It's always dangerous talking with him though.

Very easy to work with. He told me to be completely honest with him and I hate when somebody says that to me because often when I am completely honest they feel insulted which is not what I want to do. Jeff listened to what I had to say, worked the strikers perfectly based on another striker that I often use and made a similar but not the same dimension (He made them just a tad wider or they feel a tad wider anyway) and they really do work well for me.

Here are some others I have from him in the past. Hickory, Wenge and Honduran Rosewood. All 3 sound great as well.

You could end up with a lighter wallet for sure! Nice to talk with though.
