I really like the look of Koa wood. I know it's hard to come by and expensive. I also like the look of Cocobola and spalted maple. I've also got 3 piece of stabalized babinga wood that I haven't decided on which models to have them mated to. Here's a picture of 2 Randalls that I have with wood handles. A TC Special with Cocobola and a 12-6 Sportsman with a walnut handle, plus the 3 pieces of stabilized bubinga wood just waiting for me to decide which model I want them installed on.
