apple is the wood you want but why not get a blank do it mold, cheap and easy to drill, probably cast aluminum which equals soft. IMO why bother with wood when you can use the right material. r

The only investment I have in the wooden molds I have made is a little time, maybe ten minutes. Cut some 1x3 scrap to length, clamp it together, drill 10 holes, if it is for tailweights drill ten small holes in the big holes, done.
Maple will last probably 10 pours and since I get the wood for zippo?
