Good wood will sound different, more solid. Nice woody though, I like it.

Those Lymans were a helluva nice boat but like the wood wagons they are a bit over the hill.. The buyers of the product had a lot of great times with the kids and grandkids, and even the great grandkids, but now they are starting to compost unless some of the folks like Mike here are willing to replace the wood or do serious maintenance.
