Hand Crafted Longboards

image image image image image

Last summer decided to start making my own longboards. I got my hands on some nice veneer to use on the boards from a friend of mine. The boards are made from Hard Rock Maple with different veneers. Walnut, Cherry, and Mahogany veneers are on most of the boards.

I have a vintage solid deck that was used In Lords of Dog town. did you try to cut your veneer with the band saw? I see you have clear grip. how deep Is your dip or bow when you press form the decks? have you thought about selling them? thanks! for posting.

They have lots of great products and tips for board building. Good luck! www.roarockit.com/ B13 – with the veneer, I made a template from masonite, traced on the shape, and cut it out with a razor blade before I applied it in the vacuum bag. The ‘camber’ of the decks is at about 1.5 inches if I remember correctly. I have sold most of the ones in the picture to my friends and other longboarders. -- Logan

Reminds me of when I made myself a street luge though it was just made form construction lumber -- tools are only as good as the hands that hold them https://www.custommade.com/by/emeraldcrafts/
