Stick ring and 25mm bend gauge. The easy way of testing stick legality. Another Mercian first! Two tools in One!
"A way of testing the rake or bow is to use a pointed wedge the point of which is 25 mm from the flat base or using a round cylinder with a diameter of 25 mm. The stick is laid playing side downwards on a flat surface in its natural resting position. The wedge is placed with its base on the surface or the cylinder is laid lengthwise on the surface. The wedge or the cylinder must not pass completely under the stick at any place along its length"
