For those who don´t know yet how the curvature in a skateboard is achieved here is a brief example how a board comes to its shape.

Basically a skateboard is made from an uneven (7,9,11) number of wood layers laid between two CNC molds (Forms) that hold the positive and the negative side of the board’s curvature. When laying the wood layers, it is important to pay attention to the direction of the woodfibers making sure the they are always 90° in relationship to the top and bottom layers, this ensures a great deal of stability. Between each wood layer comes a small amount of epoxy resin evenly distributed. After giving them 18 hours of pressure we have strong skateboard curvature ready to be cut.
