Great wood, great kit, great turning, great finish, great all round.
Old English saying,
A dog, a woman, and a walnut tree, the harder you beat em,
the better they be!
Now to explain, beating the bark of the tree, like bark ringing, impeded the flow of sap and therefore the over production of leaves leading to more nuts. The rest of the rhyme, well of course I cannot condone.
