| Wattap Guys. Gurman aka Kingwood here giving you guys a review of the Homewood M7 Pricing: The deck was 33 USD & and 3 USD shipping, so in total the price is 36 USD. A good price considering the deck is hand painted. 8/10 Shipping: Justin took 2 weeks to make the deck, and after he shipped it, it took two weeks to reach my house here in Vancouver, Canada. I got a free piece of Foamy G, and 4 stickers. 7/10 First Impressions: The graphic is hand painted, and the plies are nice. The kicks were medium, and the concave was mellow, but it was enough to be comfortable. When I set it up, it had loads of pop, and it was easy to control. Holes are perfect, countersinks are aswell. 10/10 Craftsmanship: The plies are beautiful, even the maple stands out. The kicks are roundly perfectly, and the lacquer is nice. Justin is a veteran in deck-making, and his decks reflect that. My one complaint was that when I was grinding a homemade box 3, the bottom ply started getting black marks. This has never happened to another deck, and I'm guessing it is because the lacquer on the bottom ply is VERY thin. The graphic is non-wearable, which is how I like my graphics. 9/10 Performance: Homewoods are only 4 plies, but Justin still manages to get great pop in his decks. The tail is lower than the nose, just like a skateboard. I find this deck to be great; its easy to catch tricks, and the kicks are high enough to get some air on tricks. Personally, this is my favourite deck EVER, but that may change when I get a G13 and a Homewood M6. 10/10 FINAL SCORE: 44/50 RECOMMENDED PURCHASE. Support Homewood, Justin is really nice and his decks are fantastic. He has shapes for everyones preference, so no excuses. BUY NOW@ http://www.homewoodfb.com/ |

| I've always wanted one, but $30 just seems a bit high, especially when I'm on a tight budget. Is it worth $30? |

Its worth it. Homewood has 9 molds, low kicks to high-ish kicks, mellow concave to deep-ish concave. Basically, if you like medium kicks and medium concave, Homewood has you covered. Want low kicks, deep concave? Homewood has you covered. they do widths from 29-32 mm so yeah. Considering yellowoods and berlinwoods are 45-52 dollars, homewoods are pretty cheap. |

| Rider view, how does it compare to a Berlinwood/Yellowwood deck? |

| Well, homewoods are much mellower, and are only 4 plies, so they flex quite a bit. Homewood pop never gets soggy. I can't say which deck is BETTER, because that depends on preference....

| Well, aren't all decks homemade? The graphic is hand painted by Justin though And the pictures don't do justice. You have to see it in real life |
