Cheers folks, will post up a video poor quality video of how it goes off both ball and mallet without knocking in... If i'm not mistaken, I think this is the 5th or 6th Woodstock I've owned (hopefully without selling it this time!!) and cannot fault the quality of any of the ranges irrespective of whether its made from raw form or part made.
Superb quality and for me, the minimalist stickers in a burgundy/reddy brown are just something else and just adds to how good it looks. Typically, we all look for nice clean sapwood with X amount of grains but for me the little strip of heartwood on the inside edge (for me as a lefty) just gives it a little bit of character and each of the grains are nice and prominent. Very happy individual right here
