I specialize in wooden head 4R's which is a dying trade and have been trained by Jack Baird who was “Class A Certified” by the Professional Club Builders Society. Jack did this type of work for over 20 years in his workshop.
Starting in 2005 and for the next two years, I spent every Saturday in Jack's workshop, learning persimmon and laminated Maple wood 4R's. I am not “Class A Certified” by the Professional Club Builders Society. Jack was one of the last Canadians to take Persimmon /Laminated Maple 4R's training and receive certification from Dynacraft in the middle 80's.
To talk to Jack about his persimmon wood training and certifications and my training, call 905-733-0456.
I also can check and alter “ lie and lofts” on “steel shafted” irons from the 1920's to the 1980's. I own a Mitchell Lie & Loft equipment and was trained by Jack how to use it. $3.00 per iron to check or check and alter.
I also own many water slide decals for wood club restorations and most are from the major golf club manufacturing companies.
I also own black, white and red clay coloured vulcanized fibre insert material which was the O.E.M. material used in the 1930's, 40's and 50's.
I own Reed & Prince brass flat head cross drive face and sole plate screws which were original manufacturer equipment in the 30's, 40's and 50's.
I have O.E.M. mild steel back screws of four different head designs.
I have and use Barbors 18/3 Black Irish Linen(waxed and unwaxed) which was originally used as whipping on many 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's wood club head hosels.
I take pride in my work and will not let a club out of my workshop until I'm personally satisfied.

The pictures are of a repair & restoration of a rare Men's R/H 1941 MacGregor Tommy Armour line of Ben Hogan Model 4393 driver. I completed the restoration on the set and the set is still in my hands. I will be selling them when the Grandchildren start to plan to attend University.
