A lot like Hickory. It runs slates really well.

I don't have a Lyman, but I have a madagascar ebony. I don't care for the sound at all. Is Lyman different than others?

You bet they are...Lyman strikers are well balance in my hand. I'm sure you know that the weight, length, tip etc has a lot to do with sound. The good striker makers know this and uses this to the wood and strikers advantage. Bill, in my opinion, is an expert at this!

Rickey I wish my dymondwood from Lyman had a little bigger tip like yours. I like a lower pitch instead of higher.
I have a couple ordered from Bill but haven't heard from him in awhile. He's pretty busy. Looking forward to getting them. Tulipwood, Dymalux, and Mac Ebony.
Can't believe no one has mentioned his canarywood, sounds really good on bare aluminum and purrs good too. Also got dymondwood, snakewood, and tulipwood I would not part with
Bill turned me on to one of his Butternut strikers years ago, before his strikers became popular. Sounds great on any surface!!
LoL, hard to pick a top five, but this group on top never leaves my vest.
L-R; Snakewood, (2) Dymondwood, Tulipwood, BW Ebony, Mac Ebony and ABW

It's ok. Not my favorite but sounds decent.
How can I get in touch with Lyman? I would like to purchase some strikers from him. Thanks for any help.
These Lyman strikers are defective. Send them to me. I will dispose of them.
Some more that I just got in the mail. Really love the yellowheart, ipe, pink ivory, and katalox.
