dunno if it applies to the US market but i know certain brands (aws/antihero/habitat) use a diff woodshop for price point/euro decks iirc
Some do, but there's still some variation between brands that use the same shop. If I had to guess they probably somewhat prioritize the bigger companies so like DLX would get the best batches of wood while someone getting a small run of shop boards might get the average stuff. Kinda the same way guitar builders do, or the way they use the best wood for face veneers. Or maybe they run the shop orders on older presses or something?
Does anyone know who does Skate Mental? I see Tired is listed under PS so I would assume it's them but they don't seem to have any of the usual PS identification details.
Edit: For all the other Pennswood fans out there they just put a bunch of shit up cheap. Lots of good stuff, especially if you ride smaller boards.
