Appearance / Grain Structure
Every stick I supply is made with wood superior to most/all other wood sticks in the marketplace in regards to hardness, durability, and whip, which are key to success on the playing field.
Because of this, part of the decision process in choosing one of my sticks over the others may have to do more with its appearance than slight differences in functionality.
Let's face it, every player on the field wants to let out his inner lax bro a bit. What's cooler and more intimidating than walking on the field with the exotic grain structure of a Belizean hardwood shaft?
Poisonwood is often referred to as “Caribbean Rosewood” due to its regal color tone and grain.
It's unique color ranges from an amber dark chocolate to a pale or tanned yellow, often with dark and light-brown streaks as well as thin red streaks throughout.
The wood has great natural luster as does Tigerwood and Granadillo, so it will shine on the field on a sunny day.
This is a VERY popular wood for fine furniture, but also has the strength and flexibility for physical use.
Poisonwood got it's name because the tree and raw lumber contain toxic sap, which turns black and causes severe skin reactions that burn through flesh.
Don't worry though, once cut and kiln dried the wood is perfectly safe to use on the field and work with.
Due to the dangers that loggers and wood suppliers must go through to sell poisonwood, it is a VERY RARE wood, so therefore it is sold at "top tier" prices and is very hard to find.
