I really appreciate this.
I hate when you ask a brand about their wood and they give some non answer. Anyone who cares enough to ask this knows how the sausage is made. If you’re not comfortable speaking about your wood shop, you need a different wood shop.

I fucking hate when you askin

Yeah I've been straight up ignored before. Very annoying. I mean your giving them your money, a little info ain't much to ask

How's the concave on WKND boards? Just picked up 2  in 8.18 x 32 x 14 which is pretty close to my ideal dimensions. In pictures the nose and tail look pretty full which is new to me.

I'd call it a medium. As mentioned before PS tend to have a little less concave than some other woodshops, but my WKND boards aren't as flat as some other PS ones I have. Nose is pretty full but I think there's 2 shapes they use, one of which has a little wider more shovel-y nose. Just beware I'm almost positive that 32" is with concave, so tip to tip is probably around 31.6-31.75. Both of the newer ones I have are around 31.75 but there is an older shape that that's 31.5 and has a crazy big steep nose. Naturally since it's one of my favorite shapes ever they don't seem to make them anymore. All of the ones I've tried have been really good though, the nose makes them very flick-able.

Always appreciate the in-depth reply.

Any idea on the dimensions on their 8.0"? It is listed at 8.0 x 31.75 x 14.25 which seem more like BBS dimensions than PS Stix.

[j....soy.....]

Yeah....we positive it's PS?

Does anyone have a thought about clutch wood? I’m eying up a fixer deck to support a local Oregon company, and when I asked on Instagram they were super cool about were the wood is coming from, and I have noticed before not a lot of company’s like the “where is the decks being pressed question” I normally only skate bbs and prefer mellow kicks.

i have seen said complaints about the acid ply decks but I have been running this JJ Jesus graphic one for 4 weeks and have no complaints. I also have the GC acid ply 8.25 in the unskated stack, looks perfectly fine.

I have the jj acid ply in 8.25..

First session in at 30 mins I chiped the nose.. Kinda regret it but I managed to glue the piece back and it's as good as a new one.

The shape is really ni though on the shorter side

[tyshoes]

Do any of you guys know about the "cold press" creature decks? Theyre very mellow concave and moderate kick and have a very nice feel to them different from a santa cruz dwindle. I just spoke to NHS about current models that use this construction and they agreed about these decks being somewhat different (and the person I was speaking to was riding the "soul servant"  8.38 cold press and agreed the green bottom yellow top cold press are unique) but that they are currently not making them.

I had the 8.38 soul servant and currently the 8.5 Talisman and I really like these in terms of shape, wb, concave, pop, stiffness. I of course expected it to be a gimmick but it felt very stiff like some 90s decks. Anyone got any info on these?

Have a JWilson acid ply but set up a hopps I had laying around because I wasn't ready to skate PS wood. Sort of glad after hearing of all these chips etc. This hopps is a tank.

Thoughts? Generator?

[Ok]

Thoughts? Generator?

I thought bbs/generator were basically the same entity, bbs was maybe who pressed, and generator screened? Am I wrong?

I haven’t been in a skateshop to bother people in a really long time.

The only 3 wood shops I’ve had stuff from recently are bbs/(gen), PS, and whatever crail uses now.

I’m only used to identifying something as bbs from the circular black/white/red warning sticker.

This that civil board? I like that graphic, more than I should.

Looks like it's a Clutch deck, V10 shape

Does anyone know what woodshoop Orchard skate shop uses for shop decks?

I'm not 100% I'm like 99% it's clutch K. Look at the top see what's stamped on it

Like the green top photos above. Should be a K stamp between the bolts

[Glurmpz]

I'm skating a Zero board (I fought the law graphic), and it's definitely NOT BBS. Also not DSM. Anyone know what shop they're using right now?

Does anyone know if Magenta changed woodshops out of BBS/GEN? I’ve skated at least 12-15 Magenta boards over the last few years and they’ve all had the size sticker on top with brown top ply. The brown top ply was always part of their identity. All that said, I haven’t skated a Magenta this past year and I just bought the Günes board. It has an orange top ply with no sticker and no printing on top ply. Can’t tell if it’s the same wood or not.

I hope not. From what series is it ? I'm skating leo Valls deck from the leaping animal graphics and it definitely is generator.

Has anyone ordered decks directly from Business & Co.? I’m wondering if they send you grip with each deck purchase.

I have and nah, I used a sheet of grip I had. May have changed since it’s been a few months since I have

Had a 3 blood skull back in Feb, was most definitely DSM wood. They've been back on them for quite a while it seems. Dead giveaway is there's no top sticker anymore, just the one they slap on themselves on the plastic claiming "made in mexico" thing is if they were just honest about the DSM thing I would have probably stuck with the deck, but since the Chief's a sneak about it had to sell it off.

Sounds just like the hopps I'm on. No identifying items/stickers but it's built like a tank and feels like a bbs/generator.

I got a Ben Gore 8.125 x 32 x 14.25 from Ambush a few months ago. Red and white warning sticker and no laser engraving, if that means anything to you.

Yeah this is NOT DSM wood (very familiar with DSM, good friend rode them his whole career, and I worked in distribution). Much closer to BBS feel, but slightly thicker/softer. Heard a rumor they may be Clutch.
