Pechauer Black Ice Break Shaft

The Black Ice Shaft is made from a solid piece of hard rock maple (same as the rest of our shafts). Because it’s real wood, it has grain and other markings including mineral and sugar marks. The BLACK ICE shaft goes through a dying process that forces jet black dye into the pours of the wood going all the way through. As maple is such a hard and dense wood, the dye finishes a more dark gray color. In the picture you see some of the grain turns darker and some spots where the dye can’t penetrate as well, show as thin white lines. None of these marks are defects; they are just the character of the wood coming through!
