Goodbye, my fair-weather friend, thought you’d be there in the end, guess I was wrong, it’s two lefts and now you’re gone with the wind.
She took my heart when she left, thought I was more than a trend, soon as I saw her, damn near fell in love all over again.
You ever love something so much to the point it’s a sin? Don’t even matter how much money you spend cause you know all good things must come to an end. Goodbye, my fair-weather friend.

@GMOdysseys @ndz dang, that looks really cool

@ndz Not getting tossed, in fact I want a lot more. They’re going to be repurposed.
Grip removed, paint sanded off, glued up in a bottle jack press, cross cut into slabs, planed 1/4 inch thick to be cut in the laser cutter. Maybe someday I’ll buy a CNC as well.
There are many potential applications. It’s one of my favorite recycled materials with which to work.

@GMOdysseys don't toss. You'll regret it. You'll need them for your offspring

Those images are of a friend’s work who is teaching me.
It’s a ridiculously strong material because the used skateboards are even denser than the new ones. Somethin about maple having pores(?) that give the nose and tail all that pop but then you eventually lose the pop as the pores get compressed.
These decks are in pretty good condition still. Glue-ups with more damaged decks can be more challenging because there are more gaps and flaws. Wood glue and epoxy help.

@GMOdysseys @ndz probably similar reason why vintage guitars are so sought after. Something about the vibrations settling the structure of the wood.

Oh wow!
I might learn stuff like that if I do this in the spring semester:
