The Red Deck

The largest deck that I have made so far. The color on the bottom ply turned out great. The only problem was in the width of the plies. As seen in the close up pic. It's still a good fingerboard.





The large middle ply is part of an old dresser drawer that was torn apart. It's good to recycle.

Ampersand Fingerboard

My third attempt at creating a custom shape for Ampersand Fingerboards. This one has proved to be my best yet. Both in performance and appearance. I may use this shape to create a mold for my future fingerboards. Still using veneers of birch, although later productions will most likely be maple. The shape is perfect for me. 30mm wide and normal length, maybe about 98mm. Mellow concave and medium kicks. Small dips before the nose and tail, but not severe like some that I have seen online. Also got two pairs of Flatface G6-A bearing wheels. Don't think I can ever use regular Tech Deck wheels ever again. You can buy these great wheels from Flatface Fingerboards which I will provide a link to on the side of this blog.











She's a beauty. I created one omre after this which I will post soon. This newest one has a longer nose and tail. Pretty huge.
