I think of my 40 sets of BRW as A, AA, AAA, and Master. This bears no relationship with standard wood grading, but is for my internal use. They go in steps from $2500 to $7000 as far as upcharge is concerned.

This set is A grade, meaning it has the "casual" appearance of quarter everywhere inside the waist. I see many sets being used by others touted as Mastergrade which would not meet my A grade standard, but that's the modern world we live in. I got the bulk of my wood many years ago with the intention of spoiling myself and my customers; it seems to be working as planned.
