I think it is sheduah. Not sure.
I know bear quit using rosewood and bubinga afterthe '65 Kodiak. They did use rosewood caps on the 68 & 69 Super kodiaks
Now, I can't guarantee tht Bear may have made a few with rosewood on special orders, or maybe a few in regular production because the had a few chucks of rosewood available. I mispalced my Bear CD, but I'll bet that if you check the Kodiak Magnum in the 69 catalog, it ain't rosewood.
