Thanks for the reply Lilhunter. Yes, that other thread got gone for sure. It's a shame that you can't get an answer due to someone in charge not liking what you are talking about. I am going to order a Crusader and was just curious about the woods. I like a darker look and thought the walnut would fit the bill but all I ever hear about on the crusaders is the yew. My brothers TD has yew limbs and although it is pretty is is lighter than what I find appealing. I also wonder about the peformance difference. Is there any or is it just design and the woods are along for the ride. I have only seen one Crusader in person so I find it hard to put money into something unseen or without any idea what I may be getting. With a wait for one as long as it is, you'd think there would be pics all over the place of all kinds of wood combinations.
