Mark Wilkinson Townsend's was the only shop to have Simeon England's head in stock. It is well fitted with an unfinished hickory haft, and ready for your finish.
Mine came out very well with iron nitrate stain and blush, twice. 3 well soaked coats of pure ring oil and several applications of Oxpho Blue on the head. I'm a happy camper. This was supposed to be 5 star review.
