My Other Hobby...

[Be30mer]

Woodworking. Specifically making skateboards. Down here in Cali, these boards are great fun on the boardwalks and even in the hills (if your experienced).
So here's my latest piece: Made from African Mahogany, Maple, and Walnut.
The dimensions are 1/2"x28"x7.65"
Gluing the strips yesterday...


This morning, ready to cut


After cutting out on the bandsaw a nice Zflex shape. Rough sanding and drilled holes.


More fine sanding and a quick coat of mineral oil.


Beautiful grain.

Some shots with my 36 inch board. It cracked, hence the new board.


More to come. I still need to put the griptape and trucks on.

Sick. I used to build and design skateboards with my friend in highschool. Managed to sell like a total of no more than 20 or so lol.

Oh and I bmx and like to make stencils on my spare time.


Also love drawing with ink and feathers..

copper roses. Made a good buck selling these when I can find time to make them..

I recently got a HUGE box of hardware, plus a nice collection of M20 scraps including pistons and stuff. I got some neat ideas brewing.
