Recommendation? 2019 Forum Knife : Smooth Wood Pre-Poll Options Needed

[knifeswapper]

OK, the easiest way to do this seems to be to present a list of woods to GEC and get a yes/no before creating the poll.

So, for a few hours, I am taking a pre-poll to see which woods to present.

We can assume African Blackwood, Bocote, Cocobolo.

Please only write-in an option that is NOT ALREADY mentioned; to make life easier on me.

Please don't post in support of, disagreement with, etc. a previous mention; again to make life easier for me.

To save you some time, don't post anything they have not used in the last 10 years. Don't post any burl.
