aspen/birch/maple lay up idea

[ATB Longboards]

top to bottom

1/16 maple
4 sheets of 3'' x 1/4'' x 48'' <------Vlamed
1/8 BB

i want this deck thinner with some flex. will this do the job?

I would suggest flipping the board upside down. Hard Maple on the bottom. Birch is structurally weaker, is more prone to damage by impact, and has very saggy droopy flex. A board with maple on the bottom will give you a much more strong and durable product and a nicer snappier flex.

From my experience.

By the way why are you vlamming stuff on the inside? Just for fun?

yeah i wanna just play around till i find a easy way to make some pretty sick boards.
i made a balsa deck like 2 out of 4 were vlamed.


oh and im also adding a sheet of 8oz fiberglass to the top and two on the bottom.

should i use a different wood besides birch? i could get another full sheet of aspen instead?
