I went with the old "If you don't know, pick the longest answer" trick.

African Mahogany it is.

You maybe right Dave

Would stone be the technically correct answer considering ancient egyptians used them prior to the modern day bowling.

No mmcfarland , stone is not the correct technical answer. They were made from one the of the 4 woods listed in the poll. Sorry.

I'm entirely too lazy to go through the effort.

Plus my answer was the longest, which makes it the right one to guess, obv.

[Lonewolf300800]

I don't know what the winners get, but we should get something don't you think Street? now there are 11 wrong guesses and only 8 correct ones. guess no one bothered to look at the video link you posted either Street, although since i have a couple of wooden bowling balls i did know the answer.

Bowling technology took a big step forward about the same time. Balls used to be primarily lignum vitae, a very hard wood. But in 1905 the first rubber ball, the "Evertrue" was introduced, and in 1914 the Brunswick Corporation successfully promoted the Mineralite ball, touting its "mysterious rubber compound".

now it's up to 12 wrong answers and only 9 correct....

[Dave34]
