    Nope, all the Australianicon production used coach wood, a quite soft local "hard wood". You can see the difference in profile of the Lithgow L1A1 butt compared to Britishicon production, much thicker at the wrist for one. The UK used Walnut and Beech for their L1A1 production, not sure about the C1, whats on that one chaps?
