Thereā€™s a cool story about the artwork.

This guy does drawings on bleached linen with a quill & ink, sells for thousands of dollars. I emailed him, explaining what I wanted to do with it but that I couldnā€™t justify 1500 for a 8x10 print much less 15k for the 4x8 original. He sent me a massive scan of the print (300 dpi at 48in width), told to go for it just send him pics when I was done (just did that too ). Im gonna get @Sender to do a skateshred deck with the same skin, just smaller, as a wall hanger and send it to him.

Thank you sir.

I like this one a lot, unlike the dragon scales. That gave me the heebie-jeebies.

BTW, how was the scan transferred onto the board? Vinyl cutter? I think laser engraving would work well too.

@Sender
Do you have a thread going over what this process is like?
I have a hard time picturing in my head how a nylon fabric can turn into this! :o

44/14 the new clamps will be smaller so you can probably use 44/12

A few updates. I have installed some modded Trumpa Infinity trucks on this deck, axles removed and lathed to 8mm and re-threaded, then re-installed. I am also running TB nummies. I have a couple of new 200KV MayTech 6365 sealed can motors to install, bought them from @CiscoV, just havenā€™t gotten around to it yet.

Hereā€™s a pic, from last week on a ride with @Sender and his Kaly 2.0 monster.
