Is there a thread about what the difference is between the woodshops? I've heard generator is stiffer but longer lasting, ps stix poppy but get soggy quick, but I don't know anything about the others.

Those are the only two that matter really in terms of big time board companies, Pennswood or South Central are great but only indy companies tend to use those.

Anyone have any info on the woodshop pressing Charlie Thomas' brand, Preservation Co? The local shop just got a shipment in and they have a few shapes that look fun. One has the shovel nose and squarish tail, similar to the Black Label Curb Crusher with the skate crutch graphic that Im riding now. If I was to stack both decks together, its almost identical (besides the graphics), so Im guessing BBS.

Answering my own question here.  A few of their deck are PS and the others just have the dot and width size stamped on the top front truck holes.

Standing on the deck, they feel a little wobbly.  The concave has a weird, super flat bottom with a med concave that shoots up pretty quickly. I passed on them all...

riding a studio board right now. it seems like they are the only ones that press their boards at Control. the board has a nice shape. wish the nose and tail was a little more steep, but that's just me that like a steep nose and tail. it's very springy, it feels soggy to stand on but ollies springs you up in the air. been skating it every day for soon a month and it holds up nicely. could absolutely skate it for some more weeks. but my local shop is having a spring sale, so i'm picking up a polar deck, since i feel like they serve me the best.

Sorry to bump an oldish thread, but I figured it would be more appropriate to ask here than start a new one. I’m in the market for blanks and was curious if anyone knows where SoCal skate shop sources theirs from? They won’t reveal. Also, how are Chapman’s? Never rode one but they seem to be a top supplier of blanks with direct shipment no matter how many you order, and I’m curious if anyone can attest to their quality. Much appreciated.
There's a 2018 woodshop thread.

I saw your mom do a ollie to cooch drop straight down the big black pole, it was gnarly. she defiantly shut that shit down

Found this information pretty mindblowing, so felt the need to join and say thanks to the OP for putting this together.
I saw mention of a newer woodshop thread but couldn't find it so am posting in this one.

I am in my 30s now and genuinely always thought that pro decks were all made in the countries that the brands were from. And thought if any brands were outsourcing oversease it would be the huge companies that have been around forever like powell, but it turns out they are one of the few to still make their own boards in the USA!

I live very close to "A third foot" skateboards (England) so perhaps them making their own boards on a very small scale in a very DIY sort of way made me think that is how everyone does it.

Skateboard decks are expensive, especially US brands if you live outside the USA. The price for a US brand pro deck in the UK is around $80 which is insanely expensive for a piece of plywood. I always thought the expense was justified through it being made on a very small scale, like short run screen printed T shirts or posters. Making them almost like collectable pieces of art.

This has inspired me to start making my own!
