Thank you for viewing. This is Chinu Hunter. The material for this wooden reel is 5A figured maple, which is the highest grade of maple and is often used for guitar soundboards. The grain shimmers when viewed from different angles. It's extremely hard and the perfect material for a reel. The reel diameter is 85mm and the weight is a light 124g. Please give it a try. I am not a professional. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly sensitive to imperfections.
