I'm curious about the Canadian made V kings....regarding the materials used to make the knee braces and cores....I believe Russ's is all composite...no wood. I'm a big fan of that....hope it's an option....I'll have to call him soon!

haha thats what I hear.......especially if I'm going to have it for quite a while. I should really call him for these details but can anybody chime in on what a composite v king would run built by him? Rough guesses are fine.
