Visited Charleston, SC, recently, and came away with some wooden picks that actually sound quite nice. Much less "pick clack" than I am used to from wooden picks. The shop is called Turtle Creek, and they can be found at this web site here .

I've seen Ebony picks like these advertised all over and I was thinking about getting one however the mandolin police over at the cafe seem to give wooden picks a "thumnbs down" response.....maybe that's exactly why I should buy some LOL

We think similarly. If I believed everything on the Cafe I would have a BC pick, just a BC pick, and only ever a BC pick. Following the herd ensures only that you will sound like---the herd. I play what appeals to me. What's life with out a little experimentation?
Anyway... Of them all, I very much like the Australian Lacewood pick (far right)---no pick clack, nice bright tone, fast off the strings (it's beveled like a Wegen)---BUT it seems to be wearing down fast.
