We dive into the origins of Rook FB, the craftsmanship behind his true-wear ink-transfer graphics, and how he’s pushing innovation in deck making. From experimenting with custom lacquers and metallic finishes to revisiting hand-poured concrete obstacles, Jake’s attention to detail sets him apart.We also talk about the Michigan-Ohio fingerboard community boom, the evolution of U.S. events, and what’s next for Rook FB.
