A+ Grade hard rock Maple Shaft dowel
~ 25,4mm Dia x 838mm Long (1.00" Dia x 33" Long)

Our A+ grade shafts are graded as follows:

1) Straight grain - we do not allow run-out on any A grade shaft or better.

2) Mineral marks on the surface are kept to a minimum- If there are surface mineral marks or mineral marks on the playing end of the shaft it is downgraded from an A+ to an A grade. If Mineral marks appear after machining it is just the nature of working with wood. When we taper batches of shafts, some are down-graded and others are tossed - it is the nature of the business; expect a 10% average loss as working costs of the material.

3) No pin knots or hard spots

4) Sugar marks are kept at a minimum; not allowable on last 1/3 of playing end.
