I don't know much about wood but teak does seem to be the wood of choice for a lot of marine applications, including spearguns. Isn't there a sustainability issue with a lot of hardwoods (the destruction of the Amazon & deforestation of Indonesia, for example)? [I bought a cedar garden set when I lived near Seattle because the whole area is a giant conifer forest and lumber is an important local industry, only to find out later than it was made in Indonesia I guess we can but try]. You're welcome to beech from the garden, if you can handle it that raw.
