K.  I'll stick with the hickory for now, nab a few elm logs in the spring, and put persimmon out of my mind till someone on here posts one up that gets the juices flowing.

Badger:
 I was just reading up on persimmon and it was listed as being useful for golf clubs and bows. I was checking to see if silica in the wood is a common problem with persimmon and it said it was not common but did occur more frequently than in other American woods. And quite commonly in tropical woods, which persimmon has a lot in common with.
