I know it been a while since Rob has made wood 
(Actually I don't want to know)
And I'm sure there are a ton of new REOnauts that would love to get their hands on one.
Many times I've seen people post that they are "hard on mods" and need the metal counterpart just to survive.
I'm here to tell you as a person thats carried wood REOs every day for a couple years now that they can take it.
And do it with style. If you pick a hardwood they are just as durable as the Aluminum IMHO. And they are much more beautiful - only slightly larger - feel lighter - and are way more comfy in the pocket.
Those are the reasons I choose to carry either my Oak or Cocobolo woodvils daily. But the biggest two are they feel great in the hand and they really are much more comfortable in my front (or any) pocket. While a Grand is not large it does feel like an aluminum box bouncing around in my pocket (especially loose shorts). My cocobolo feels its completely round ..... not a corner on the thing.
Took the Cocobolo 18650 to NYC yesterday for a full day of shopping, eating, and drinking.
Some pics with some other "high end" things on 5th ave.
I went searching for a man purse that was a bit more man and a touch less purse
Came up with a single strap half wide backpack that has a REO holder sewn right on the strap.
It came from Eddie Bauer and its been a treat to have for trips the last couple years.
Here is the Oak 18650 skiing with me ..... and at the bar.
And the same Q-sawn Oak out for a hike two summers ago.
