Now you who know me know I'm not the guy who goes around shouting my religion from the house tops. I'm the guy who chooses to be a living example. Any way recently I have had an opportunity to help a Christian Brother in Mexico (Noe) through the means of a missionary friend of mine, who coincidentally is a turkey hunter. Long story short the gentleman in Mexico is in a very poor area and is a woodworker. He has a lath and access to an abundance of exotic woods. Strikers being easy to turn were an instant idea as a way to help him out. This is the first trial run. All are turned with a very true 5/16 stem. He does a excellent job on these.
And I will stress I'm not taking a single cent on these strikers. All money goes to Bro Noe in Mexico.
In order from left to right:
#1 Zirocote heart wood.

#3 Katalox with sap wood.
#4 Katalox heart wood
#5 Mora (cousin species to Osage)
