From left to right. First try, second try and third try.

I’ve always wanted to make my own skateboards. Or I guess I didn’t think of making skateboards but more of designing the graphics on the boards. I came across a tik tok from a random creator showing how to make a fingerboard and I thought I could do that and paint them ! So I ordered a fingerboard mold kit off etsy and went at it. First one did not come out good at all, Second one got a better shape and the third I felt had a stubby tail but otherwise had a great shape and feel. I used wood glue for the first two and used super glue for the third so I decided to continue on with the super glue since I had more success with it.

Some of the first boards I made and really liked. Photo taken at a rest stop on the way back from Vancouver WA.

The red and purple one on the left was my favorite shape ever made.

Love how most of these came out. Fishbrain and the middle left didn’t come out the greatest given that I was still learning but none the less were still shreddable. Shoutout to everyone who bought one, really means alot !

Again shoutout to everyone who has supported me in this endeavor. Shoutout to the Bakeshop in Prosser WA. Everyone there is super friendly and chill as hell ! This was the first fingerboard I made for Flip who bought it from me. I also made a green board that says the Bakeshop on it being their signature board. The next one is another Toasty design where he’s just blazed haha. Stop by the shop and ask to check them out ! Or just stop by and get some stuff to get high !

Really big shoutout to Flip. He let me borrow the boards he bought from me and I hadn’t made a new board in awhile so it definitely got me through tearing my ACL having a board with me. Especially because I was itching to go out and skate.

I havent made many more boards but I have few that I’ve made and have been using. I think at this point I’m making them more for me to have. If anyone wants one though I’m down to make one for you for the right price ! I’ll paint it up or leave it blank for you to paint, I include everything as well, real skateboard griptape, trucks, wheels with nuts and bolts. Let me know in the submits page or shoot me a DM on instagram !
