Anyone tell me who made the snakewood?  Ones a Larry G. Ones a Harrison I think. One appears to be a Sinclair. No clue on others.

The one next to the snakewood looks very much like a Stuckey to me. Here are two Stukey's to compare shape to. Name of wood should be printed on the striker, but that one is pretty dark. Edit: Just noticed the far left may be as well, but I am not sure on that one. Should also have wood written on it.

It is a stuckey. You are correct. Gentlemen just responded. He's no clue on the snakewood or far left.

Yes I think it is as well, I edited my comment to say that but it must have been missed. What is the wood on far left?

I'm guessing lest than 120 dollars for them all if your buying them form the builder of the strikers. But wood type does make some difference. Snakewood is the higher of them in cost regardless. The snakewood has lot's of figure in the wood , which makes it higher in cost.

snakewood looks like a corder, if its not its real close.

I think the really dark Stuckey is Macassar-Ebony

I disagree with Greg on the other, I think it is and please forgive my spelling Bocote, the one I pictured above is Hickory and I have another hickory from him and they do not look that dark. Edit: I magnified the picture, I am pretty sure I see ze the a covered br then see an A again, so now I will say Zebrawood.

I'm thinking spatted hickory, but i could be wrong. It doesn't have a lot of grain either way. Center Bocote would have lot darker grain , but it could have lot sap wood in the striker.

I made and edit to my above statement, I think we were both wrong and it is zebra wood, look at the picture I added.
