Agree - not because it's wood, but the way it's executed. I'd envision a nice hardwood, like cherry streamed into a curve so that when cut the grain runs arounf the curve. Then nice carving in the cantle and bosses. Even contrasing bosses. Even constrasting woods laminated and steamed into a curve. Lots of opportunity for the creative woodworker or carver.
