Champeau VacuBright™ Shaft Dowels - Maple & , 30" in Length

For more than 30 years, Champeau has been supplying quality hard maple components to billiard and snooker cue makers. From timber selection to milling, we’ve worked tirelessly throughout the years to better streamline our operations. All of these improvements have contributed to the creation of our exclusive VacuBright™ process. 

Classification according to Champeau’s quality standards. Specially adapted to the billiard and snooker industry, our quality classification was developed specifically to meet the technical and economic market needs.

The following factors contribute in the making of Vacubright™ process so unique

• Hard maple and white ash of the highest quality. Canadian hard maple is renowned for its slow growth and high density. Our mill’s proximity to forests reduces the time between harvest and processing, thereby preserving the quality of the fiber. 
• Pre-drying in a controlled environment. Protects and preserves freshly cut lumber, reducing damage caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight and other elements.
• Vacuum drying. This unique process reduces oxidation, preserves the natural color of the wood fiber and delivers an impressive whiteness while providing unequalled straightness and stability.
• 28 criteria for wood component cutting. These include fiber straightness, color, and many other natural characteristics of hardwood.

Pro Growth are the BEST of the Best.
