Help with 59' Kodiak sight window ID
« on: December 09, 2011, 09:05:00 PM »
What wood is in the sight window of this 59' Kodiak? I know it's not the maple and I dont think it's the PH. Thanks for any help.

I'd say purpleheart. Purpleheart has straight grain and gets dark. It only looks purple when new or when it gets refinished.

I would say Purple Heart as well and if refinished would look much different.
