From tomkuhn.com: "WOODY 2023 fixed axle wooden yo-yo.
We have fond memories of those early days at Tom Kuhn’s yo-yo shop, making the original fixed axle hard maple-wood WOODY No Jive. What’s old is new again indeed! Here is our NEW WOODY [2023], made of hard rock maple-wood, the quintessential fixed axle (not take-apart) classic profile wooden yo-yo. Nicely balanced and weighted, this fixed axle yo-yo is perfect for entry level players to learn and for seasoned players to challenge themselves to “Old School” play! It is excellent for looping tricks!
No parts to lose, prized for its ease of play and performance. The Woody yo-yo is beautifully finished with a clear protective coating to enhance the beauty of the natural wood grain. The classic profile is the original yo-yo shape."
