Skateboard Decks

What Skateboard Decks consist of:

Skateboard Veneer

Let's start with veneer. Skateboard veneer can be broken down into three categories of plys.

Face plys, sanded or unsanded core plys and cross band plys which are generally unsanded. The way that you orient these different layers changes a board's strength, weight and feel.

A common method of arranging the plys or layers would be...

1. Face
2. Core layer
3. Cross band
4. Core layer
5. Cross band
6. Core layer
7. Face
Skateboard Veneer

The thickness of the veneer varies as well. Often, 1/17th of an inch (.058 / 1.47mm) for the faces and core layers and the cross bands are generally thinner at 1/20th of an inch (.050 / 1.27mm).

Depending on the results you want to achieve, veneer is also available in other thicknesses...

♠ 1/13th of an inch (.075 / 1.90mm)
♠ 1/16th of an inch (.062 / 1.57mm)
♠ 1/22nd of an inch (.045 / 1.14mm)
♠ 1/24th of an inch (.041 / 1.04mm)
