Title: 1968 Kodiak mag Tigerwood or Shedua???
Post by: DAVE1275 on February 02, 2010, 04:27:00 PM
Can anyone tell me if this is Shedua or Tigerwood.It's a 1968 Kodiak mag.I was thinking it's tigerwood but I thought 68 mags were made from shedua and 69's were tigerwood.Maybe late '68 used tigerwood or did they use what ever they had avaliable.Just curious.Thanks (http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv192/DAVE1275/100_2813.jpg)

This 1968 looks to be the same wood.

Shedua. I have a Polar with a tigerwood (also known as Goncalo alves) riser and will try to get a photo of it. I have seen many '69 Kodiak Hunters and Kodiak Mags that were shedua; I have seen very few that were tigerwood (Goncalo alves).
