The Alien Workshop DIY Deck Kit. The kit includes a 7 ply maple skateboard blank, a shape template sheet, three logo stencils, and detailed instructions. Or you can create any shape you like! So rad. The blank can accommodate a shape up to 9'' wide x 33'' long. There are laser engraved center lines on the top of the deck so that the shape can easily be lined up, and the truck holes are pre drilled for a 14 1/4'' wheel base. The shape templates include a standard street shape, an old school shape, and a cruiser shape. They can be used as is, or simply as a starting point. Limitless by Design.
