I left the board with a plain plywood deck for local PNW artist, Jesse Joshua Watson to paint in early last September before I went to Australia...No worries, no hurries...I picked it up this week... The bottom is Afromosia and Fir veneers...Rails Cork & Ply...I still need to glass it...It's gonna be a quad... It's the third board in an ongoing series of me producing a HWS veneer bottom "canvas'", then turning it over to an artist to complete the deck...These boards get glassed and built to ride... So far the artist's I've worked with are stoked to do something different...Most artists have a preferred medium and style...Most of the time their painting is on a flat canvas...They recognize that painting onto a hand built wood board is more unique than painting a canvas or even a foam blank...It just is... We also see these projects as a way of threading together other artists through a "common canvas"...I put no expectations on the art or the time to get it done...It's fun to see what emerges from diverse artists...All of those I've worked with so far said they are honored to do these boards and it has elevated their work...
