The Secret Birthday Present #4: Son's Skateboard

« Part 3: My Son's Part 4 of The Secret Birthday Present series no next part

After all the challenges I met to add the logo to my son’s skateboard, I have to say that I’m quite pleased with the result.

The decal is a “window decal” purchased at Staples. I sprayed a coat of clear-coat on top of the printed decal to prevent the ink from bleeding. I attached the decal to the skateboard by placing it on a wet layer of waterbased wipe-on poly and then coated it all with several more layers of poly.

I love how the wood shows through the “EA” lettering.

Neat job!

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Let’s roll! Very nice Debbie, I’m sure he is going to love it. Everyone there at EA Games will want one. A third career?

that was TOO stressful.
i could never do woodworking professionally – I’d have anxiety attacks every time, worrying about making a mistake.
