HOW IT’S DONE
Bio-based resin laminates seven plies of maple-veneer plywood inside a concave mould that evenly distributes 40 tons of pressure. It cures for 24 hours, then we drill the mounting holes for the wheelbase. We cut and shape the board, creating a fillet on the bottom with a quarterinch round router bit. We sand and sculpt a slight fillet on the top edge, and coat on a water-based polyurethane before and after silk-screening. There’s a quality control inspection, then it’s all set for the world to enjoy.
