Thanks a lot everyone. Fujimo, I forgot to answer your question about the Lemonwood. The board I have was obtained about 20 years ago and I do not think I can find any today. Probably some can be bought in England. Bue--.

The nocks looked way better than what you typically see available, really nice custom touch.
