| Shape and rounding looks good. Lacquer looks nice and shiny too. |

| Yea, spice them up with some different colours of plies.
It's hard to judge the rounding from pics.
I like that your shape is different. \_/ concave instead of V or U concave. |

| Personally, I don't like concave at all. I prefer mellow decks. But that's just my preference, these look real nice Harvey. Love the lacquer. Vibrant plies would be even better, keep at it |

| The thing is Darian, the board is mellow in the middle, but has banks on each side.. It might actually work great. Could be really fun to try one as it is new. |

| Yeah i found the way the concave works is it makes a lip on each side so you can flip tricks "easier"/nicer, once i get deck making down to the T i will start throwing decks your to review etc |

| Harvey, that's similar to the concave I've been playing around with for the past few months and I really like it especially on a wider board. I've found the flat and wide platform makes for excellent control and the lips on each side make flips easier and catches nicer. It helps me feel around with my finger placement as well. I feel it's the best after my grip is worn out a little on the edges as the sides then act kind of like a reservoir and the grip fills in the basin. Personally I was stoked to see you experimenting with a similar idea. |

| They are a lot better than I could make. I'd be willing to buy the deck for 10-15 dollars.
Really like the splatter design. |
