  About Hollywood ClapperboardsAll of our clapperboards have been handmade in Los Angeles starting in 1985. Our product line has expanded over the years to include match-grain walnut/ laminate clappers, mid-level, economy and specialty clapperboards – with a wide range of board materials and customizable layouts. Our handcrafted clapperboards are the product of many years of experience designed to simplify life both on set and in post production. Our premium products, with tops and bottoms cut from single billets of premium US-sourced black walnut are truly custom made and reflect the best in herringbone design. Hollywood Clapperboards and its international partner, Filmsticks, service around 80% of the global clapperboards market.
