One Tree Skate Deck
A friend of mine is involved in the Montana Skate Park Auction in Missoula each year. For my entry, I drilled holes to weave copper wire in the shape of the tree. The skate deck was sold at Auction. Check out the other great work for a great cause!

Giving Tree Skis
Another pair of skis that were plain black and really needed some color. They have been sold.
One Tree Skateboards
I've had 3 knee surgeries and I needed a way to run my dog so I decided to make a longboard for him to tow me around town. I have to say that it is really easy. I bought the trucks and wheels used from the local skate shop for $10 and the plywood was scrap. These worked great but they did flex a lot. I thought the grain looked like contour lines from a topo map so I went with it. They have since been sold.
One Tree Beater Board
I visited the local surf shop to see if they had any beater boards to practice my ding repair skills. He told me to buy one for $40 or all seven for $40...so I took all seven. This was the only one that showed any promise. Loved the 80's look and outline but it needed A LOT of love. Keep in mind this was before the Dane Reynolds Dumpster Diver fad so I decided to just cut out a fish tail and repaint it because it was already pretty watertight. I surfed it once and it was missing the 3rd fin. I really wish I had this board back to do over again. I should not have chopped the tail and just added the center fin. It has since been sold.
