ok, had some shop time and wanted to try some solid wood boards.
here we go, all boards are book matched wood and drumsanded until I had perfect flex in the boards at my 175 pounds, they are nice and solid with just enough flex.
first board, mahogany 48" long, wheel wells, cindrich trucks but will end up with indy hybrids and axle extensions
next one is cocobolo, 62" long, about 9.5" wide original S10's and they'll stay on it, carves like a dream
and the last one is mahogany, 65" long, indy hybrids with SZ 40mm axle extensions

and here just a few of my quiver I acquired since november
I still have a zebra wood board that'll be about 45" long but I need some fibreglass and copper to finish it. all boards will get a few narrow strips of grip, either tread tex/poly, glass glitter/poly or even monster paint traction, I'll see which ones looks best since they won't need tons of grip
thank you for looking, and sorry for all those pics
