Damn Four Wheels- Amazing work. I'd rather buy yours than the other ones. What kind of tools/machine do you use? How long does the process take?

thanks man! It probably takes me around 1-2 hours over the course of like
3 days maybe. I use a belt sander, wood lathe, and some clamps.

I cut my board into squares at the parts with the least concave. Then I sand off the grip tape residue and the graphic. Then I make pen blanks out of them (kinda hard to explain) and then use them on a wood lathe. I would do all this is shop class in highschool but I finally got all the tools at home so I might start makin more of them.

When I worked at the local, my buddy would have me save all the snapped boards that kids didn't want so that he could make sculptures.

Louie Barletta made this...fucking awesome.

MapleXO kncoks out the nicest recycled deck products.

This buckle is all I own, but I plan on making a bench one of these days.

I have stacks of decks sitting at my house that I just can't bear to throw away. My girlfriend makes fun of me and made me put them in boxes at least instead of just piles on the floor hahaha.

The only creative thing I've ever done with any of them is made some shelves for our office/smoking room. I just went totally basic and easy and once we put shit on them they looked really cool. I put three on each side of a window, spent like $20 in supplies, and it took almost no effort.

Sorry to "necropost" but I've accumulated quite the amount of broken decks in the last couple years and was looking for a nifty way to recycle them. I'm thinking i'll try my hand at some crude kicker/bank ramp made of broken decks and regular wood but i wanna hear some more nifty ideas other than what's been said here already.

This is amazing! One of the coolest things I've ever seen.

Those guitars are really sick too.

How the hell do you make things like these? Lots of wood glue?

Seriously, any tips?

OP's pen looks sick, and Haroshi is the best, but I'm not down with that Skate Study House thing. Using new boards seems like a waste.

i found some dudes from Portland that make some DSLR handles and some other cool camera accesories out of recycled boards

My guess is that and lots of sanding, planing, sealing, etc.

Everything in here is rad. That Louie Barletta board is insane.

i think you need press as well. kinda press boards on one big block and then work your way through it?
