WHAT TYPE OF WOOD WAS/IS USED IN BOWLING BALLS.
What type of wood was/is used in bowling balls? I have an old set from the 1930s and would like to know what they are made of. Thanks.

The original bowl (often called 'woods') were made from lignum vitae a very hard wood. As far as I am aware, wood bowls are no longer made. See also Bulletin board message 52
