How Bowls Are Made
	STAGE 1 Composition blanks are carefully inspected and electronically weighed, the first of many inspections which are carried out during the course of production.
STAGE 2 The material is so hard and abrasive the blanks are turned using diamond tools. Consistency of shape and performance is ensured by the use of computer controlled machinery.
	STAGE 3 Continuing with the accuracy of shape and size other C.N.C. equipment is used at the secondary operations. Further weight checks to confirm compliance with W.B.B. (World Bowls Board) requirements are also carried out.
STAGE 4 Computers are also used to engrave the sets of 4 bowls. At this point the set has its unique set number, serial number and the W.B.B. & manufacturer's identification engraved on it.
	STAGE 5 After engraving, painting of the print and emblems is carried out to enhance the appearance of the bowls. This also aids identification when in play.
STAGE 6 Final testing using the approved and licensed test table. All bowls are tested to the W.B.B. "Master" bowl. As well as having to comply with the even more rigorous requirements of the manufacturers. Thus the different models are tested to their model specifications to confirm that their performance will be optimal for given greens.
