MAPLE - Maples are planted as ornamental trees by homeowners, businesses and municipalities.  Sugar Maple wood, often known as "hard maple", is the wood of choice for bowling pins, bowling alley lanes, pool cue shafts, butcher blocks, skateboards and much much more.  It is the preferred wood for skateboards because of it's hardness, resistance to shock  and splintering among other things. Hard maple veneer grows in south east Canada and north east United States. The most sought after of this species is located in the Great Lakes regions.

FIBERGLASS - A material made from extremely fine fibers of glass, it is used as a reinforcing agent for many products.  Glass fibers are useful because of their high ratio of surface area to weight.  Uses for regular fiberglass include mats, thermal insulation electrical insulation, reinforcement of various materials, tent poles, sound absorption, heat- and corrosion-resistant fabrics, high-strength fabrics, pole vault poles, arrows, bows and crossbows, translucent roofing panels, automobile bodies, hockey sticks surfboards,  and boat hulls. 

ALUMINIUM - Aluminium is a durable, lightweight, malleable metal with appearance ranging from silvery to dull grey, depending on the surface roughness.  It is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust, and the third most abundant element therin, after oxygen and silicon.  Aluminium has about one-third the density of steel.  It is ductile, and easily machined, cast, drawn, and extruded.  BCL uses aluminium plates as a reinforcement in its drop thru models.   These plates stregthen the drop thru cut outs, as well as the bolt holes, for unparalleled performance, quality, and durability.  Aluminium is 100% recyclable without any loss of its natural qualities.
