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?
Mayan Cherry's color tones typically range from honey browns to reddish browns with some occasional chocolates.
In addition, the fine, light parenchyma ring patterns provide thin colored lines that will add to the character of your project once a finish is applied.
The wood is considered to have a "rugged" look that achieves an "exotic appearance" but generally is considered to be less attractive than other Tomahawk Lacrosse hardwoods.
Mayan Cherry's grain is incredibly hard, but it is known to "tear out" when cut, which is why Mayan Cherry shafts aren't as smooth looking as our other woods.
However, its grain is almost always straight and it has incredible hardness, so it will be very hard to dent as well as very durable on the field.
