Has anyone seen or bought one of the shop decks from the homewood site?
i personally think its a great idea for beginners who dont want to pay a lot for a deck
what do you guys think of these?

I believe they are just china decks.

there just china decks

ah fair enough aha

Yes they are decks made in China, but they perform well and I wanted to give people a cheaper option to get into the hobby. Many other companies have decks made in China as well (I won't go into that again though too many people got mad at me for mentioning what I knew) and odds are the computer you're using to read this forum was mostly manufactured in China.

I'm down to 3 decks though in stock and I want to support fingerboarder deck makers more so I'll probably stop carrying them, or I'll find a way to sell my own decks for cheaper, for example foregoing the edge-rounding that I spend a lot of time on for realism. Most big companies don't do that and no one seems to care that much anyways and it doesn't affect performance too much so I will probably offer decks with square edges for a lower price point.

I never saw anything wrong with companies carrying China decks. Yes, they're cheaply manufactured, however, China decks open doors for people who want to get into the scene but don't want to pay $25+ for a deck. My first wooden deck was a $25 4CFB complete and I don't regret the purchase at all.
