Thanks
The dark wood is black walnut, the light wood is aspen, the arrow is outlined with purple heart, palm wood on the rub rails (worst splinters you can imagine), maple for the cockpit, cedar from old telephone poles for the bulk of it and no idea at all what wood the grey inlay is -- came in a sample box from Lee Valley. The beads are maple. Right now I'm just recovering -- shoulder damage from patting myself on the back 8).
take care
