Rpeck, how does Bubinga compares to walnut with regards to density and resulting weight? Tropical hardwoods are most of the time quite heavy; is the weight of you stock manageable?
Louis
It doesn't feel all that heavy. Although it weighs 8 lb. it is nicely balanced.
Bubinga:
Average Dried Weight: 56 lbs/ft3 (890 kg/m3)
Janka Hardness: 2,410 lbf (10,720 N)
vs.
European Walnut:
Average Dried Weight: 40 lbs/ft3 (640 kg/m3)
Janka Hardness: 1,220 lbf (5,410 N)

An interesting site.
This is interesting too. Apparently Bubinga has been caught up in a CITE rosewood ban.
