Building up stock...again

5/16/2014

I've finally started to catch up on stock. There is now a healthy supply of FW390(3A) S595(5B) S595 1/2(5BX) both in Acorn, S540(7A)barrel, S555(747)acorn and testing level of B595 and B580 in Acorn. The B stands for bounce and those sticks have an acorn type tip. There are more S565(5A) barrel and acorn coming this weekend in both standard and long length.

I've had more requests for sticks that fall outside the standard sizes so I am going to start lathing some of those sizes that fall in the middle of the standards. I am also going to turn .515 dia equivalent to pro mark 7A and Elvin Jones models. 

I am also revamping the labeling system used, along with a new label and all sticks will be paired by weight and pitch. I am going to start marking all sticks in their number diameter. As example 595 will be a 5B and 565 will be a 5A. This will allow for fewer stamps to be made. Also, there will be a lettered prefix for everything outside of standard taper. There will be an FW for 'forward weight,' short taper, a B for 'Bounce,' long taper regular neck/tip and a J for 'Jazz' long taper and skinny neck and smaller tip.
