HELLO TO ALL CONGABOARD MEMBERS ,

THESE MATTHEW SMITH, CHERRY SHELLS ARE THE ONE'S I'VE ORDERED.

THEY CONSIST OF A MODERATELY CONICLE 6 3/4" MACHO WITH A MOSTLY CYLINDRICAL, 9" HEMBRA. THEY HAVE A 10 LUG DESIGN; AND HAVE MORE OF A NATURAL WOOD LUSTURE AS THE FINAL FINISH, THAN THE USUAL HIGH GLOSS. I WILL SOON BE POSTING PHOTOS OF THE FINISHED PRODUCT. THANKS, :D

MATTHEW SMITH, IS A RARE ARTISAN
