Prowood were saying that they made and sold 20000 decks last year
Which means they would have had to make 55 decks per day

Although Prowood get put down, they still get sales from people who are new to Fingerboarding because the range they sell.

I'm not supporting Prowood.

But it's over exaggerated the 20,000 think. The decks wouldn't be ready in time to sell 55, and the sales go slow or something one week.

Lies.

55 decks a day? that's over 2 decks finished an hour.

I hope for sanity's sake that that's a bad source, and not a claim on their website or something. Because that's just insane.

Let's just assume they sell a deck for 20 dollars, I have no idea I'm just guessing. And say 10 of that is profit, because that's a fair margin. That'd be 200,000 dollars in a year, profit. loool.

It is possible to make that many decks. 55 decks a day would be simple with compound molds and CNC cutting.

BUT. The market for fingerboarding is very small. I doubt there are even 20,000 potential customers in the fingerboarding community. Maplewood, anyone?

It wouldn't be a consistent making though, there could be a gap between making, so it would be a false statement.

:lol:

Nice to see you are taking such a big interest in my business Finn. Yes, I posted in several places and even stated on television that we just made our 20,000th board. That is a fact that I am really, really proud of!

Not once did I say, or even pretend to say, that it was just in the last year.. Now, don't get me wrong, that would be grand, but I don't have enough time in the day as it is now to make all the boards I need to without help, but....

just to make sure you all understand,.... that is a total since I started making fingerboards back in 2008...

so next time, Finn, you want to try to make me look bad for something, feel free to check with me FIRST so you can get your facts straight!

As to the rest of my friends, thanks for your comments and your quick math. lol...

As for me, I am going to continue to do my best, EVERY DAY to help improve the fingerboarding community.. and I don't intend to do that by bashing others or playing such silly games as this...

Cheers,
Jim

#cool
just did the calculations
20 000/3/365 = 18 boards in one day, not even including on holidays. Either you are lying or you're just spending less time on boards to make them low quality. But of course I'm wrong because "your quality and customer service is the best in the business" and you wouldn't want to lie to us would you?

I would listen to what Jim have to say before you be jumping to conclusion of what you has to say.

Tbh I would be surprised if he had sold like 10,000 over 3 years or sumin, Prowood are pretty popular among newbies to the fingerboard scene and people like fss, One of my first boards was a prowood. I was very disappointed...
