: Seems cheap enough, though probably about the same price as wood
: and quite a bit heavier. Adding weight generally isn't an
: advantage, specially for a SOF where they can be very light.
: Carry it a few times and you'll appreciate the lack of weight.

You're also going to end up with large straight spots and unfair lines due to the ferrules.
