Well two quite well known NZ shapers have called it a day now. In the general scheme of things this probably sounds like a drop in the ocean, but in a small country like NZ it’s a pretty good sign of the times. Hopefully things will get better soon or there won’t be any custom shapers left at the rate it’s going!
getting old or just getting skunked on business?
one of them isn’t Roy, is it?
Probably a bit of both.
who were they?
quit due to competition/economics/never loved creating/shaping or plain old retired?
but quit sounds more dramatic?
