I've noticed on a couple other threads that you use minwax products on your boards. I'm currently using minwax polyurethane on a current build and have been having troubles with my striping bleeding as a result of the poly.
How do you counter bleeding when you're painting your clear on?

I only used the poly on this current board because I really like the golden color it gives the wood.

PM me a pic and I'll try and help you out.
Hey feenixx, looking good man. I that a prize board for the race?
Austin, my dad is looking to get a board for himself but he weighs about 200...would an Arroyo be stiff enough for him? What are the largest wheels you can run?

Might get a matching mini to go along with it :P
Oh yeah, the Arroyo is plenty stiff. I'm 235lbs and ride one. Wheels depends on your set up, trucks, bushings etc. With added wheel wells, I've got a new well design I've been working on as well too, you should be able to get away with 70/71 mm with little trouble. That's really the biggest wheel I recommend on the Arroyo anyway.
Jackpot! Glad things are getting back on track. Hope all is well and that you're able to pick up exactly where you left off << meaning: Austin is one of my most highly respected builders

I don't know about exactly where I left off but I'm coming back and I'm coming back hard. I've got new designs and new boards just waiting to hit. All the decks that were suppose to be made real a while ago and a few more. I know it may be a little difficult to have folks jump strait back into buying an Arcane after what has happened. That's why I'm thinking of different ways to sell beyond the "pay me now and I'll ship out your board when it's done stuff."
The past couple weeks have been awesome. I've been able to invest real time, energy and money into what needed to be done. Everything left that is owed will be in hands within a few weeks and I'll be just about damn near ready to roll again. I know a few of you have waited patiently for a while now, and for those of you that have (I have the list) you will get huge discounts on anything I make if you choose to buy an Arcane again in the future.
Thanks for the prayers and hopes my friends!
Austin
I really hated to see you go down the drain like that. Awsome, just awsome to no that everything is back on track and you are looking twords the amazing future that you had ahead of you.
