[Dave Winters]

I make these skateboard decks.. kinda fun!

flashback moment! nicely done and sure beats the heck out of my old fiberflex!

 

[jbswearingen]

Wow. That's almost too pretty to go shredding on!

 

[glycerine]

Very cool. May I ask how much you sell them for?

You'll look AWESOME until you plow into the side of that car that's backing out of its driveway. (DAMHIKT)

wow fantastic looking decks. what material do you use? how long does it typically take you to create that beauty? again nice job.

 

[Dave Winters]

Thanks, all...

...for the kind words!
glycerine: These sell for between 225.00 and 275 retail.
clapiana: I use Cherry, Maple, Wenge, Lyptus, and others. I make them in batches so I don't really count hours. Maybe I don't want to know.....

Beautiful boards. My 9 yr old granddaughter loves this one and said -Grandpa will you help me make one like this To which I sadly replied that it is above my skill level, lets talk your dad into buying one for you.
Jon I did not realize that you were that old:wink:.

I had considered this as a fun project but could not figure out how to make the deck concave. Yours does not look like it is concave.

 

[Dave Winters]

These aren't, but I do both camber and concave using my version of what's called a Dimm press. There's a good tutorial on YouTube. I'll post some pics of those when I get time...

Its been 20 years, multipal surgeries, more pins than I ever care to count and a stint in rehab since I was on a skate board.......that deck almost makes me want to do it all over again!

1982 was my last bout with one of those, I think I still have vivid dreams of watching that board rolling down the street as I flew high above it and into the ditch and down the hill with a bank shot off the fence under the car.

other than causing nightmares to start again they look good.
