Impression:
My first impression was when I opened the box is that still smelled like a woodworking shop. I immediately noticed the craftsmanship that went into making it. It did not have a flaw and you could just tell that it was made buy a true professional; that cared about the end product as much if not more then the bottom line. You just do not see this type of quality everyday.
