Wouldn't cedar be too soft?

Oak =1290 and cedar =900 on the hardness chart. So yea it's softer. It's a shifter handle not a wagon wheel. I think it would be ok. ?

A guy at work turned me on to Bubinga. I made a set of grips for a pistol out of some he gave me (a 357 S&W)
It is the best smelling wood I've ever worked with, it smells SO GOOD!

Can you describe what it smells like?

Beautiful work! If you can manage to whittle the rest of the handle as well, perhaps we can talk a deal.
