So the difference between the two is just that one has epoxy (and sometimes graphite powder) as the material that the shaft is sliding on and the other is just the wood? Do they have the same cross sectional shape (b/c you said to rout them both with a half round)? I'm sorry I'm confused. Is the picture I attached of a wood or poured? Maybe a comparison picture would help me? And I still can't quite tell which one you think is better: the poured or the regular?

Thanks for all the help!! Sorry if I seem thick here, I'm just having a hard time getting this straight (my first real attempt at a gun + I haven't been spearfishing before so I don't know terminology) I'll keep this updated, though I will probably only be able to do work on the weekends.
