Wood Inlay questions ?

[bagman]

Hope you can help me with a few woodie questions.

The 60 of each small & large produced each year, is this 60 of each standard and classic in both sizes?

Of the number produced are any lefthanded as standard or do you need to order them specially?

Is there a big difference in how the regular and classic woodies feel in your hand? I am looking at classic becasue of price as I am a tight bas***d (well not really but I am bot sure why there is such a big price differential?)

I think it is 60 large regular wood inlay, 60 small regular inlay. Unlimited number of classic large and small inlay.

I think the price difference is the complexity of the regular having a larger pocket and larger piece of wood.

I don't know about left handed numbers.

The classic is more like a sebenza with two ribs, the regular is more like a sebenza that swells on either side.

Dave is right as far as the quantities of the different models is concerned.

There are some other factors that contribute to the price difference:
. the pocket into which the wood is inlaid is far more complex on the limited edition wood inlay Sebenzas. It is a more difficult process to match the outlines perfectly
. the woods chosen for the limited edition are rare, premium, figured pieces and so are more difficult to machine (they break a lot more readily!)
. the fact that they are limited to only 60 each size per year adds to their rarity and collectibility
. we set aside five left handers in each size each year.
