Longcruise. That is a nice fish there bro… I’ve never fished them, as they are not real common on the west coast. But I’ve heard they are hard fighting fish, and good eating too.
As far as the rest of this “Junk”…. I’m not even touching that.
Max, Have you had any checking issues working with that African black wood?
I haven’t worked with it in years, but I had surface checking issues very similar to Gaboon ebony, and quit using either one.
I did a gaboon ebony riser for a guy that insisted he wanted it, and I told him I would have to charge him to refinish the bow when it started checking…. It only took 6 months before it needed it, and I had used a good epoxy finish too.
