longboard

Gesture Board: Pucker

Welcome Pucker! A longboard with a kicktail, Pucker is a stable piece of attitude. Pucker is made out of seven layers of 1/16″ plywood using a handmade mold with vacuum bag and hand pump to form the shape. The dots on the top surface are made of purple heart.

Gesture Board: Hiho

Hiho is made of molded plywood. I used seven layers of 1/16″ Canadian maple, and did the lay up over a shaped styrofoam mold with a small vacuum bag and hand pump. I’m looking forward to trying this technique with more advanced shapes / molds next.

Gesture Board: Tomo

Why is skateboard grip always additive? With Tomo I routed three different topographic depths into the surface of the deck. The end result is map that functions as a grip. I’m excited for the next attempt at this technique. I’d like to do some known topographies and experiment in using plyboo as the base material. Tomo is made of plywood, hand-routed and hand painted with Gouache.

London Design Festival: Le Creamsicle

Le Creamsicle is constructed out of Plyboo and hand-painted with Gouache. I love the shape and especially enjoy this board as an accessory. Ride-wise, it takes some practice.

Gesture Board: Citra

Citra is one of the best cruises you’ll ever have. She’s made of plyboo and hand painted with gouache. When I get a chance to visit with her owner, I always take Citra out for a ride.

Gesture Board: sfz original

The first Gesture Board, sfz, is made of plyboo. It is cut and sanded with scroll saw and hand sander. I love the flex in this board. The graphic is a Monotype print of hand-drawn designs, done with oil paint.
