Does anyone happen to know the wood combos from the top 4 or 5 longboxes at Nashville this year?

I think a few of them had Bloodwood paddles with different wood boxes.

As mentioned, several with bloodwood paddles and I believe there were one or two boxes that were mineral stained poplar that placed in the longbox catagory.

The best sounding longbox I ran at the Convention was a Bloodwood/Walnut made by the Shoemakers.

I have a bloodwood/butternut on order from Frank Kruer but not sure I'll be up on his list before season.

I would not base a wood combo choice from what the judges picked at Nashville. They know not what they do....
