Homemade Skateboards
Howdy,
I am a skater from Brisbane and I have been tempted for a while to create my own longboard. I have researched into the topic and found two prominent sources of wood; canadian maple and baltic birch. After finding this I have, with the help of others, found two websites to purchase from.
1. Breers (or something like that) which has roughly 30" by 9". I have also heard this is sold in bulk of 100 veneers.
2. Roarockit which sells kits of air press and, depending on which kit, tools such as sanders etc. including a foam molder. (I have most tools needed, but i hear that the air press is great).
I was wondering if any one has any suggestions for either wood or places to buy wood. I was firstly thinking of making a gnome type board but depending on limitations i'm happy to venture (as long as it isnt to hard). Also, if i decide to go with the bulk order, i am looking for people, in the brisbane area, or further, that wants to take some veneers.
Cheers
