The sticks were received in good packaged condition, and the delivery was fast. Good job on that. However, the sticks themselves had a bit of wood chipped off near the tip. Just a few splinters here and there. A bit of smoothing using a blade seemed to have done the trick. Just a note to make sure that the item being shipped should be screened/checked before packaging to miss these little details. Overall, a very good product and good service!!!
