December Updates
Winter is definitely here, and Christmas isn’t going to be far behind. I hope everyone is settling in for a festive holiday season!
Some of the things that have been happening around here lately include . . .
the new Natalie Style Dart Cabinet – one of the local fire companies needed a couple of dart cabinets. And, since the local dart scene has a preference of keeping score on a pegboard, as opposed to scoring wheels that are part of the traditional green tavern dart cabinets, he helped translate a design from an English dart backboard into an American dart cabinet.
The first two pieces came out well, and are in use at the fire company. I asked him to make a few more, so I now have two hand made dart cabinets that are available to new homes. They have solid wood framing, with a lacquered finish so the wood grain shows through. They also have a grey carpeted backing around the board for a pretty striking contrast. Actually, for full information on these two cabinets visit the Natalie Style American Dart Cabinet page.
On the Vintage Dart scene, I found two new sets of darts that would fall in line with what I would consider American Style darts. They have the full wood bodies, but differ slightly from the norm when it comes to flights and weighting. One of the sets was assembled in France, and the other comes from the Innovation Products Company out of Chicago – who probably ceased operations many moons ago.
You can check out the darts by visiting the Marksman Darts (made in France) page, and the Innovation Product’s V Dart which came out of chicago (and oddly, has a wood barrel but plastic flights).
