Excellent presentation. How well does the yo-yo sleep?

Even though this is a one-piece fixed-axle design, Olivewood has a high oil content, that acts as a lubricant on the axle...so it sleeps exceptionally well, almost like a ball bearing axle. Other woods that are really good for fixed axle sleeping are Cocobolo and Argentine Lignum Vitae.
