neil r 1,795 Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Been helping a mate who makes tribute skateboard’s running batches of wood through the bandsaw all year and he’s just done this for me as a thank you . He restored an old axe head and made a laminated handle for it . I’ve not spoke to him yet about which wood he’s used but I think it could be maple and teak with a purple heart stringer through the centre. 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
