: Does anyone have a guestimate as to how much extra the King weighs with Joe's
: use of walnut, vs. a dark WRC? I am planning to build the lightest I can,
: but love that dark peruvian walnut.

I'm with you Bob. The Peruvian Walnut gives great contrast. But it's a bit heavy. According to my research the specific gravities in question are .5, .44, and .32 for Peruvian Walnut, Alaska Yellow Cedar, and Western Red Cedar respectively. Planks of PW could be thinner than normal and still be just as strong WRC however.
