Didn't take it as a dig Fishingfreak. I was just explaining why the grain shows more tan on an AYC plug. If you get your chance to try some Eastern red cedar you get the same effects. Light bouyant plug with grain that shows. With redwood my one fear is the red organic material that makes redwood red. (I think its something like tunic acid or something close) can bleed. I used the wood last year with no problems of it staining red streaks. But you never know. If it does happen then I will be on a hunt for another type of wood that I can get here. Western red cedar is also very bouyant and grainy but it also has problems giving a smooth finish sand. You get lots of checks and nooks with it.
Anyway the redwood works well, if you ever would like to play with a few pieces I can send you some.
