Ipe vs teak vs padeuk

Well I knew it would happen eventually. After a dive last night, loading my gear into the truck, I felt a big crack in my spear gun. Today upon further inspection, the teak laminations are beginning to delaminate.

Time to build a new stock.

As with many marine applications, teak is the go to wood but recently, i have seen a few very high dollar ipe and padeuk stocks on the market.

I have a bunch of padeuk on hand and am thinking of giving it a go.

Any reason not to?
