Skateboard Flower

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts, Pictures on October 6, 2008 at 3:15 pm


Ted Hunter of Roarockit Skateboard Co. made this flower sculpture with skateboards as petals titled "Reach for Light":

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.

    Oh no, please tell me the article didn’t pluralize “petal” by adding an apostrophe “s”.

    I can’t bear to actually check.
