Light, strong, not springy, wood for a skateboard?
I can buy a cheap skateboard for $20 US, but I would prefer to cut
my own. I do not want concave or springy, it needs to be strong and lightweight flat wood. Anything readily available at the local hardware stores that might work for a skateboard deck? Ordinary 1" x 8" (or 12") wood? Plywood? Thanks. -- FWIW. It is actually not exactly a skateboard, but it is something similar. It will support an adult male and go over many obstacles. The wheels will be bigger. It does not need to be springy, I will not be flipping it up into my hands upon dismount, and shock absorption will be dealt with other ways. |
