Oak Foils - Roots and Branches Series

Graphic designs by Mitch Meidroth

I have been wanting to start this new label for sometime now, seems like since most of my production shaping time has been spent working with other shapers and other mfgrs boards and design and it seems like the economy is slowly shifting my business to working on my own Oak Foils designs and shapes as most of the other shapers are slowly fading away or have sold their labels to large corporate over seas production staff or have completely gone out of business.

Having the opportunity to have worked with some of the most prolific shapers and designers from the top ASP high performance shapers to the classic traditional and neo traditional shapers has allowed me to gain some deep insights about designs and performance theories from a wide collective array of shapers over the past 5 decades of my shaping career.

This new label will be for the new shapes and designs from that old/new "collectiveness" and possibly some collaboration with some of the great shapers from the past present and future. Impressions of designs and shapes from the past and fused with modern design elements and construction, combination from all the roots and branches of design, shapes and theories from the past with a fusion of the modern and tradition. I have a ton of designs and ideas I would like to see come to life.

If there are any other shapers that would like to become part of this "collectivness" project feel free to contact me. At this time I would like to work with actual shapers and not "designers".
