What kind of scales would you like to see on the Chaparral? I would personally like to see the lightning Strike CF on it! :D
 
Human bone.



Nah, J/K. I like pale green, semi translucent G-11, fluted titanium, engraved brass, ebony with abalone inserts..
 
So far the only tentatively planned versions are the Twill CF version we have seen, and 2 titanium scaled versions (no information beyond that on scale materials). There has also been talk of a Slip-it version (that sounds awesome to me!).

I think Micarta, Polished colored G-10, sculpted G-10 like on the PPT or Zulu, and Cocobolo or some other wood would all be really nice. The most practical beyond those announced would be polished or sculpted G-10. Of those 2 options, something like brown, red or blue polished G-10 would be most attractive.
 
Beyond the CF and titanium versions Sal has already mentioned, wood of some kind would be my number one choice. Desert Ironwood, cocobolo, or masur birch would all look nice on it. Micarta or polished G-10 would look best if they could be crowned a bit.
 
Already planning to buy it in CF, but would pick up a second one if it came in natural G10. (both sides - I much care for the half-half Leafstorm)

Sal said that they were looking at natural wood for the next Sage, but were having issues around stability. I'm sure they are still working it - but they can probably translate these lessons-learned to the Chaparral pretty quickly...
