Our first repeat buyer in Tel Aviv pushed me to change how we sample and weigh paddles. Here's what stuck.

Poplar is cheaper and lighter, but it isn't always the right call. A Greek customer and I went back and forth on this for a week.

A full container order almost fell apart because of one wrong wrap color. Small detail, big lesson.

Notes from a busy stretch this spring — a fair in Ningbo, a sander that picked the worst week to die, and what we actually showed buyers.
