| Hey Fingerboarders! During the summer of 2012, I decided to take my fingerboarding to the next level. By the next level, I mean making decks myself. I decided that I wanted to challenge myself to get to be a widely known company. I have always loved making things on my own and the satisfaction of success. I began with making my first mold. I made reference to several different YouTube videos and then successfully made my first mold. I then bought some veneer from a friend who owns a wood supply shop. I tested many different species of wood until I figured out the correct thickness I needed. Then, I experimented with different types of glues and epoxies. After I got those things sorted out, I designed a shape that appealed to me and began to make a template. From there, each deck is hand sanded and smoothed. I developed a new way to apply real-wear graphics to decks, and a way to dye veneers for the perfect color. Years of practice makes perfect, and perfection is not something that can be rushed. It takes lots of time, hard-work, and dedication. It can be extremely frustrating, but once you get it right, it is probably one of the best feelings of satisfaction. Each Cali Fingers deck is stamped for authenticity and is then garnished with a lacquer coat. Each deck, whether it be a split-ply, real-wear graphic, all natural, exotic, or wood-print, is only $10.00 (plus shipping and handling which will vary depending on your location). I try to keep the cost down because I realize that money can be an issue with some and money is not what fingerboarding is all about. It is about having fun and enjoying our miniature skateboards! |

| Deck is 32mm by 100mm. Currently working on a 33-34mm mold. I made this mold back when 32mm boards were the rage. |

| haha, people like 33x96 nowadays. Seems like standard. Not a fan of the newer "stubby" decks. It seems like a strange trend so be really wide, short and thick with square edges and very round kicks |

| I find it very weird. But if that's what customers demand, then that's what I should make. Especially if no one will want to buy a 32x100 deck. |

| I just received a belt sander and disk sander so decks will be produced much faster and efficiently. |
