I was referring only to the actual material used, i.e., hornbeam as opposed to maple. As for the rest, I'll agree with everything you've said except perhaps for the friction consistency. And I do wish they made maple shanks. Perhaps even offering us a choice between the two. Regards, Del ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
