Wonder how cocobolo helmets would go over?

Going to start doing some night riding since the days are getting shorter,
and wanted to extend the rear flasher to the left side of my LeMond about
twelve inches. I've read that doing that keeps people from getting too
close as they drive by.
Anyway, I'm doing a bent laminated mount that will clamp to the seat post
and extend a rear flasher twelve inches to the left. May as well give it
an aero profile. I suspect it won't be the last wood project for the bike.
Hmmm... what wood looks best with Ti and Al?

Ebony or blackwood might fit in with the high-tech look. But you also I
presume want it to stand up to the elements and survive a spill in
reasonably good order, so maybe something strong and decay resistant like
Lapacho would be good. But that would add a little weight (heck, it
wouldn't add as much as ebony). Or if you're going with "aircraft quality"
then Sitka spruce.
