Ripwood's handmade Ash lacrosse shaft comes with a gloss outer coat and a heat treated finish. Heat treating is a low soot oven that caramelizes the hard grain lines to produce a warm artistic appearance to each shaft.
This is hand made by Andy Deardorf, Ripwood Lacrosse, who is a non-indigenous lacrosse stick/shaft maker in Central Pennsylvania. He is making the best modern wooden shafts in the business.
