Think it may end up oriented this way actually
Got a new blade this morning and have just resawn some Black Limba, top back and sides for a Size 5 Terz clone.
And a piece of reclaimed Wenge I’ve been carrying about for about 5 years. It was painted gloss grey with ‘cupboard no.10’ written down one side, amongst a bunch of pieces I acquired from a closing down reclamation yard opposite my old house.
I love these. A proper 1980’s Santa Cruz Skateboards look about them. Great.Periodically, my insanity meter gets dangerously high from too much shop clutter, and I have to reorganize the layout, purge, or utilize materials, and so I decided to tackle this planned project. Some rolling-instrument carts.
I had few goals with it. While the colors were done with rattle cans, I wanted test my air-gun and compressor at home, which I did with three primer coats. I wanted to do some curving masking design, necessitating pinstripe tape use. That was more challenging than I expected. Avoiding line wobble requires care not to stretch the tape or hesitate in application movement. I wanted to employ the use of a projector to model an image. Lastly, I needed some place to house more dang upcoming instrument builds, and should I identify an opportunity to do a trade show or something--I wanted an eye-popping, memory-imprinting, landmark for potential "victims" -- 'er potential buyers.
I guess I'm about "100 steps into this journey of 1000 miles," so I may as well keep walking.
Very "rad" of you to say. I'm so stoked at such a kind comparison. I was an avid skater kid in those days. I had gone through a number of decks by the big names--"Powell Peralta," "H-Street," and yes, "Santa Cruz." I was ever vigilant in the search for "Animal Chin"--found him once hanging out with Bigfoot (real name Daryl). Yeahhhhhhhh (successful trick execution in front of onlookers)! Once a show-off...I love these. A proper 1980’s Santa Cruz Skateboards look about them. Great.
I’m 46 now. Falling off starting hurting too much a looong time ago.Very "rad" of you to say. I'm so stoked at such a kind comparison. I was an avid skater kid in those days.

Best of luck in all of your trick attempts!
