Cutting Your Own Deck Shape?

by **Kychucky** » Mon Sep 17, 2018 2:00 pm

Anyone out there besides me, cutting out their own decks?

I have been doing this since I first started skating back when a skateboard was 3/4" oak with a glued on kick tail sanded to a slope. I even made asymmetrical 7 ply boards as far back as 1980s.

I'm having a bit of fear in finding suppliers for uncut blanks in the USA, made in USA. With the massive wave of importing here in the USA I fear for the industry here. I found Skatepaige and have purchased. These are super good, as good a maple can get, no complaints and recommend. BUT, always looking for other suppliers. I have found 1 other seller but cant locate them now.

Anyone know of a seller of blank uncut laminated stock to cut from?

You could try pressing your own, it's not too difficult.

Every so often, i love the idea of making my own deck, but i don't trust myself!

Just ask Mr Trump to slap some import tariffs on 'em. That'll soon sort the import problem out. :-)
