Weird Skateboard/Longboard Flower Art!
This is definitely the weirdest artwork I have seen in awhile, what a waste of longboards I could just ride instead of turning it into art.
Then again, it’s kinda cool that longboards are used for making this piece.
This piece, I built is called Reach for Light. It was last shown at the Wood Turning Center in Philadelphia but was originally built for an art exhibition in Hawaii . It’s a good example of free hand vacuum veneer bending. The flower petal designs are actually printed using photo’s of real tulip petals. The inside is printed griptape (sticky back sandpaper) and the outside is printed styrene. The internal core is Canadian maple veneer. The shape of the decks are our Roarockit classic pintail skateboard shape that is included in our longboard deck kits.
