I am surprised this didn't happen sooner. Too bad though, the fact that they used chapman may have been their only saving grace.

He's probably right.  Currently it's cheaper to ship raw material across the ocean and manufacture it there than it is to make stuff here in North America.   They've been doing it with hardwood flooring for years.   Gotta love China's nonexistant labour laws!  They undercut EVERYONE!  India too. It's a sad state of affairs considering the unemployment rate!

Yeah, no shit; he just thought he was being smart by pointing out something everyone already knows. Dwindle boards are technically Canadian Maple but they are pressed in China, hence they are 'China Wood'. He also ignores the fact that there are still companies that press in the U.S.A.

Well I am sorry you don't like my posts,...
I know poeple still use Generator in San Diego or some of the few Woodshops around, and the great dudes at Pocket Pistols even still screen print their Boards instead of using heat transfer.
I am just saying it is getting next to impossible to not work with china, and it is getting increasingly harder for a small company to maintain a business.
All the big ones are over in China anyway.( maybe not DLX)
Though I did see their prints there.

because i like my boards that are pressed there too, keep it on the continent.
