French walnut is the wood of choice currently
The current consensus that Im getting in regards to this is that if I were to try and have these hand guards cut the way the plastic/metal ones above, the "bipod" cuts would weaken the wood so much that it would compromise the handguards integrity
wood choice is not too much of an issue, but the grain and the over all color of the wood shown in the image is what I would like to work with or stay close to.
