Rosewood tuning lever/hammer

[Allen Birchler]

I have both types, but always seem to go for the rosewood one.

Something interesting is that if I leave my tool case in the car on a cold
night, when I go to use my Rosewood hammer I have to first wipe some form of
condensation off it first.  No other tools in my case seem to suffer the
same.  There is not rust.  I have never had this happen with the nylon type.

Anyone else notice this ? - I have my theory on it but it is only that, a
theory.
