| its hardly similar to the yellowood mold, yellowood doesnt do a pointed end, just two squared ones and they are more subtle so its not really the same. |

good on ya jim for trying something different to move things forward. maybe this isnt the shape and its time for another go, but im glad to see someone trying to think outside the box. true true. |

Do what you want tho man. I prefer just standard shape. |

| | Subject: pics of latest version.. thoughts? Thu Feb 02, 2012 5:12 pm | |
|  Not sure how I did it, but I managed to embed the pics here.. Red is the latest version using my new radius sander tool. the board is not lacquered, just working on the shape for now. The sander tool is quite challenging because if I don't get it just right, it will 'eat' the board... lol... thoughts? |

| It's exactly what every company is going for these day but honestly if I didn't know better I'd think it was a baker skateboard
Text me back and also if you used the shape I suggested its be even better |

| Danny, Justin =
The graphic on the red board is a custom graphic from a customer. Honestly, I have no real idea what the M stands for.
All,
I appreciate the feedback.
- cheers! |
