The last C Sharps that I ordered I ordered the plainest wood they could find just for that reason. The owner of C Sharps called me back about a week later to see if there was a mistake on the order. He said they didn't keep that plain a grade of wood. I told him to go to the lumber store and get a two by six if he had to. I don't know where he found it but I have the plainest C Sharps in the world. I have one of those tang sights in the desk drawer along with the front sight for exactly the same reason.
