    Default Teaser Possibly (old board finally getting done)

    I was bored so i took this crappy pic,anyways here is so information about the board.
    I first pressed it and intially shaped it back in august, well since then it has gone through 5 shape revisions starting from a 59" walker, and ending up at a 49.5" squarish tailed cruiser. Well i finally started work on it again after the discussion of possibly a finish contest, and hearing that Ryan was gonan be working with fancy veneer, so i said what the heck lets see what i can do, using this board as a test piece for some stuff i havent done before.

    Well the ideas just started rolling in, the graphic for the bottom which i initally planned a long time a go to do, which was very elaborate and detailed, gave way to a simpler design, which i jsut finished doing the leafing this morning, and i can say im glad i made the change as it turned out very very nice. Now i initally had some veneer cut out for the top of the board (which was gonna be clearcoat griped), and which i tried previously to press it to the board but it horribly failed but now thati have a new vacuum pump, and a bag almost big enough to fit my 6foot frame into it standing up it should be good now, but the one day i said F-it and tried something different, so the veneer for the top is now composed of 6 different wood veneers . And if things go good tomorrow i will have it pressed tomorrow and be able to start clearcoating it, so in a week it could be done. The people who have seen it so far in person that is, say once i finish it i should just hang it on a wall and not risk damaging it as it is very nice so far, but well me being me whats the point in having a board your not gonna ride . So if you got this far i just stole a couple minutes of your life you will never get back Muahahahah

    So here is a little crappy teaser pic i took that shows nothing basically :P

    its a custom bag made from 2 yards of vinyl, i wanted a bag big enough to do 60"ers(biggest i can make with the plywood i get) and to be able to do full on positive and negative foam molds while allowing me to fit it all in the bag


    and i got more metal flake in the mail today plus some other things , now i have a total of 45 different colors at a rough weight of 20lbs total of metal flake even thoe you can make your own colors using transparent paint i sitll wanted a nice range of colors
