ABSTRACT:
A skateboard deck and method for making the same. The skateboard deck is made from a wooden core. The core is made from a plurality of longitudinal portions that are each glued to one or two other horizontally adjacent longitudinal portions, so that they share a vertical planar joint. At least one end portion of the core has a transverse semicircular groove formed in its upper surface. The groove is filled by a cut-off semicircular cylindrical filler piece that has a smaller radius of curvature than the groove. The end portion of the core is bent upward and the filler piece is held in place by an epoxy resin. The entire core is then enclosed in a pregnable fabric impregnated with an epoxy resin and the enclosed core is held in place under pressure and elevated temperature until the epoxy resin has hardened. If desired, a steel protective piece can be placed against at least one end of the lower surface of the core before it is enclosed in the pregnable fabric. A key-shaped cutout in the steel protective piece locks the piece in position against the core.
