"Lime" is Brit-speak for "basswood".

I understood them to say that they split out the smaller billet
in order to get the best/most-stable/most-consistent grain.
But basically, yeah.


Also, I liked the potato-based primer for the wood,
but I must admit that I was a bit suspicious about how
quickly the they skipped over the discussion of the
all-natural finish/varnish that was "safe to be rubbed
on by hand".
