What do you guys think?

So I decided to be constructive yesterday and spent 5 hours making a custom LongBoard. Just wanna get some feedback on what others think.

Looks Wooden

Not bad. Just add some color and maybe some rough surface and your golden

I was thinking about doing an ocean design on the bottom of it and then black grip taping the top with a center pinstripe.

for home made looks amazing

Looks awfully thin. That won't break under your weight, will it?

 

[TheyCallMeC]

yours looks pretty good
but im wondering, did you laminate the wood?
its when you take thin strips of wood and glue them
together
this is done to make the board able to flex without easily breaking
most skateboards are made by laminating the wood but yours looks like you just shaped a piece of 1/4" or 3/8" thick wood or something and stuck trucks on it

however i do like the shape
and i like the idea of ocean designs on the bottom

heres a couple snapshots of the longboard i made
its not actually homemade, i build it in woodshop
although i did design it and build it by myself so w/e

its 5 feet long made from 5/8" poplar
i didnt paint anything on the underside, just used some woodstain to make the grain of the wood show better and look nicer

ive got a second one ive made since that one thats about 3 1/2 feet long
i didnt post pictures of that one because i havent gotten around to gripping it or getting trucks and wheels on it
that one i woodburned a design on the bottom
the design is the letters of my name rearranged to look like a guy skating
i think the shorter board actually looks better but its incomplete

dude that board looks sweet TheyCallMeC, and the wood i got to make it was pre-coated and its double layered and pretty stirdy, it flex's a bit which i like for carving harder but it wont snap, and i got clear grip tape on the top lol, its my first board ive made.

 

[Negro Amigo]

make sure it doesnt snap when you get on it

Not bad if you can go downhill drifting with it

 

[iTz QuickShot420]
